St. Peter’s is the proud recipient of The National Endowment for the Humanities’ (NEH) new Picturing America initiative. Picturing America provides an innovative way for citizens of all ages to explore the history and character of America through some of our nation’s great works of art. As one of the schools and public libraries nationwide to receive the program, we now have access to this high quality, free resource that we are using to engage our students with discussions of our nation’s art, history, civics, literature, and more!

For more information on the program, you can visit the Picturing America Web site at: www.PicturingAmerica.neh.gov Feel free to peruse the site, and check out the images and the great links included. Sit down with your kids and start conversations about the beautiful masterpieces!

Picturing America is distributed by the NEH in cooperation with the American Library Association (ALA).
