* For the sake of planning our programming, please give me your name if you are interested in attending the Taps ceremony at the Gettysburg National Cemetery. https://forms.gle/f3S9SL9Nwy9oVEGi6.
This ceremony is a nightly program in the summers and is one of the most touching and beautiful ways to honor the lives lost here at Gettysburg and the other soldiers laid to rest in the Gettysburg National Cemetery. It is highly recommended that you experience it at least once during your time here!
** The visit to Special Collections will be limited to the first forty students to give their names to the Lincoln Scholars program. If you are interested, please sign up at https://forms.gle/puF5pqEukf9WpiGD9
We are developing some optional alternative programming for those students who are unable or not interested in attending the Special Collections visit, TBD.
Every student will be able to attend a session at the Planetarium!
