History Comes Alive at Rosenwald Dunbar Elementary School! 🦅
Our first grade Eagles in Ms. Carlstedt's class had a very special guest recently! Ms. Carlstedt’s brother, a former Army Reserve member and current major historical treasure hunter, visited to share his passion for the American Revolution.
The students were mesmerized as they got a close-up look at history, including bullets from the late 1700s and a rare coin from 1794. He also shared a treasured book about our Founding Fathers—a gift from his and Ms. Carlstedt’s mother 50 years ago—that first sparked his lifelong love for learning history.
