I really enjoyed the downtown tour this week. I loved learning about the history of our town and it made it even more enjoyable to be able to share it with the sixth grade. Learning the history of Roanoke is so much more exciting when you have a great group like I had. I learned so much about how our "little town" was at one time not so little. The most interesting thing I learned is about how Roanoke used to be a very popular city that was home to three theatres. Teaching the kids about downtown Roanoke was an amazing experience and I hope community studies continues this tradition for the years to come. I think it is important to keep the history of Roanoke alive, considering that most people do not know the history themselves. Community Studies is doing the future generations a favor, by passing down historic information.
