The Aurora History Museum and Historic Sites is hosting an Aurora teacher appreciation and outreach night and we want you to save the date for August 3rd! We hope you will join us and some of our partners as we say thank you with food, prizes, goody bags, and previews of programs that we offer for your classrooms. Whether you teach at an Aurora school or are a teacher living in Aurora, we want to say thank you. Everyone who attends will have the opportunity to win prizes for games throughout the event and be entered in to a raffle for prizes. Raffle prizes include a $50 gift card to Stanley Marketplace, good at any of
these stores.
More information to come and space will be limited. Sign up for our
email updates to be the first to know when registration opens in July.
