Keystone Classroom Initiative
Beginning in the 2022–2023 school year, America250PA launched its Keystone Classroom Initiative, a storytelling and visitation program for kindergarten through fourth grade classrooms, children's hospitals, and youth camps across the Commonwealth. Along with an age-appropriate historical reenactor, storyteller, local celebrity, or mascot, America250PA will visit children across Pennsylvania to educate them about our shared Pennsylvania story, as well as distribute our originally-designed America250PA Coloring Book and related materials.
