User:Zparsons1/Kansas Day

Annual Kansas Day celebrations include school field trips and special projects to study the history of Kansas, pioneer-style meals, special visits by students to the Kansas Statehouse in Topeka, Kansas, performances of Home on the Range, the Kansas State Song, and special proclamations by the Governor of Kansas and members of the Kansas Legislature.

In 1882, the Northwestern Teachers Association decided to create an informational pamphlet containing details about the state, songs, and other methods of celebrating the holiday. It was developed into a printed book called Kansas Day, and has been taught in schools throughout the state.
