2014 marked the centennial of the beginning of World War I. In order to teach students the significance of the war and create a different learning experience, teachers Michele Pedone, Greg Eibel, and Amy Eibel at Faircrest Memorial Middle School and photographer Mandy Altimus Pond teamed up to recreate historic photographs and posters that highlight important aspects of the war. Students could choose one of three topics to research and participate in: Women and War, Propaganda, and War Technology. The students wrote a label explaining why they created the photographs.These images were exhibited as part of Faircrest's annual Veteran's Day program on November 10, 2014, and at Second April Galerie in downtown Canton from December 4, 2014 through January 3, 2015.
