Ottawa County teacher wins Revolutionary War history fellowship
OKLAHOMA CITY — An Ottawa County fifth-grade teacher was selected for a fellowship to attend the Colonial Williamsburg Teacher Institute.
Brandi Pierce, a Turkey Ford teacher, was one of 34 Oklahoma fifth- and eighth-grade teachers selected for the fellowship held June 9-14.
The institute is held in and around Colonial Williamsburg. During the institute, teachers immerse themselves in early American history by meeting character interpreters and participating in hands-on activities and reenactments. The focus will be on the daily life of colonial Virginians and the transition from subject to citizen that occurred during the Revolutionary War period.
Turkey Ford School is located in southern Ottawa County and has around 90 students from pre-kindergarten through the 5th grade.
