Education Day is a golden opportunity to enrich social studies, world history, world cultures or government classes. IMMAWII Education Day is a wonderful opening activity or culminating project for an extracurricular activity such as debate team, social studies club or an Afro-centric club. Regardless of your focus, you’ll want to take advantage of this opportunity to broaden your students’ cultural awareness and appreciation.

Secondary schools and youth organizations across the state of Iowa participate in the Education Day activities on Friday, January 30, 2009, starting at 9:00 a.m. and ending at 2:00 p.m. Educators are encouraged to bring their students to be a part of this historic learning experience.
