Fort Lauderdale, FL — November 1, 2004 — BSCU recently made a financial commitment to more than 20 of Broward’s Middle Schools by underwriting the costs of electronic field trips to Colonial Williamsburg. The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation’s interactive educational programs help to teach students about America’s history.

Monthly Electronic Field Trip Topics Include:

• A soldier’s life on the eve of the American Revolution
• Children’s life experiences in 18th-century America
• Farm life and its tradition and seasonal rhythms in the young United States
• The modern practice of preserving rare animal breeds that were prevalent three centuries ago.

Sponsoring outstanding educational programs like these is one way that BSCU demonstrates its commitment to Broward Schools.

It’s one of many ongoing programs for school employees and students sponsored by the Credit Union. The Broward School District is excited to be a part of the program. Dr. Mark Quintana, Social Studies Curriculum Specialist for Broward Schools, said “BSCU’s sponsorship is affording children an educational enrichment opportunity that they otherwise would not have.”
