Drexel Sammons uses a variety of games to reinforce specifi( 

 learning objectives in his sixth grade Social Studies class. 



From Mock Sessions of Congress to Colonial School / 

 Days, his classes foster participation by making the subject 

 matter come alive. 



In Colonial School Days he attires himself and his 



students in period garb. j 



/ 

 They sit on wooden benches, read material 



written in 18th century style, and discover first-hand 



how hard it was to write with a soapstone and slate. 



It's no wonder Drexel Sammons' students have a 



superior grasp of their subject matter. They've lived it. 



The result has been their record of consistently earning 



in both county and state Social Studies competitions. 



For consistently maintaining an atmosphere that encourages learning, even if he has to 



set teaching back 200 years, State Farm is proud to award him the 



Good Neighbor Award, along with $5,000 to the Crescent 



Elementary School of Beckley, West Virginia.
