National Veterans Memorial and Museum to Expand Educational Options

Navy veteran Todd Alles educated kids for years as a teacher and administrator for schools throughout Ohio.

In his latest role, as a National Veterans Memorial and Museum volunteer tour guide, his goal hasn’t changed. But now he’s teaching children about people like himself and how the military affected their lives.

Battelle’s funding will help the museum develop more interactive exhibits and support a paid summer fellowship program for college students. The students will help develop the curriculum that will be used by teachers next school year, in correlation with the Ohio Department of Education’s learning standards.
