We’ve offered the Raleigh community
space-saving solutions for the past 10

helped us reclaim over 700 square feet of
our house!” - Annie D. Balitmore

audience through his wealth of
knowledge, and knack for historical

Remember, History Happens When You
Least Expect It!
Why It’s Important While we all know the importance of STEM
education, according to the latest test results
from the National Assessment of Educational
Progress (NAEP), the nation's eighth graders
have made no academic progress in U.S. history,
geography or civics since 2010 .
In civics, 51 percent of students scored
"basic”, 23 percent scored at or above
"proficient”, 2 percent scored "advanced."
Many students' scores were below even the
"basic" range.
According to the report, 29 percent of
students scored below basic levels in U. S.
history, 25 percent in geography and 26
percent in civics.
