Lindy Poling’s students rarely forget their social studies classes. In her Lessons Of Vietnam (LOV) class, Lindy helps them understand war, death, politics, patriotism and values and takes them to visit the Vietnam Wall in Washington. Lindy has authored books about the LOV program and received numerous awards. She is in charge of the Community In The Classroom speaker program, which brings individuals, including a Nazi prisoner and a State Department official, to talk about their experience of historical events. “Lindy’s passion for social studies, history and her
students is clear,” said her nominator, Teresa Cronin.
