Per the website: "As educators and mothers, Sally Bloom and Michele Suffridge have been teaching North Carolina history to their children and others for years. They advise a North Carolina Tar Heel Junior Historians Club that has won many state-wide history contests. Friends and others in the homeschooling and public school communitiies encouraged them to offer their expertise and resources with others. Having created their own lessons and activities for years, Sally and Michele decided to offer these resources to you through workshops and a curriculum that will encourage your students to understand this state's past, while recognizing how that history sets a course for the future."
