When State Rep. Harry Readshaw
extended the Monument Challenge program to schools, he did so knowing that there
would be interest among our students, teachers and administrators to answer the
call to help preserve Pennsylvania's monuments on the Gettysburg
Battlefield. That call has been answered by students from all areas
of the state. Below is an honor roll of those schools that have
already submitted hard-earned funds to the project, as well as links to other
schools that are in the process of raising funds to help ensure that these Icons
of Freedom will be well maintained for future generations.
