On May 8, 2021, we will commemorate VE Day – Victory in Europe.  Please consider showing JFR’s award winning documentary Following the Footsteps of My Father.  Here is a link to the documentary.

If you would like to screen the longer version of the documentary, Footsteps of My Father please email Stanlee at [email protected] and we will make it possible for you to screen the documentary with your organization, community group, sisterhood. The longer version is 38 minutes in length.  Stanlee is also available to “meet” with your group online to discuss the making of the documentary, Master Sgt. Roddie Edmonds, and the historiography of the Battle of the Bulge.

A Teachers Guide for “Footsteps of My Father” is available on the JFR website.  Here is a link to the Teacher’s Guide.

We hope you have been checking out our featured educators from across the country.  Several months ago, the JFR began featuring Alfred Lerner Fellows in a new series called “Fellows in Focus.”  Each Wednesday we highlight an outstanding educator!  Please check out the JFR’s Facebook page on Wednesday to learn about a terrific teacher.

Teachers who attend the JFR’s Summer Institute for Teachers are known as Alfred Lerner Fellows.
