This website has been the work of myself, Sara L. Brooks with the input and cooperation of many people and resources. I hope that it becomes a useful resource for teachers and students. This will be a continuing work in progress.
These credits show why you can trust the information that you learn here.

I am an elementary school teacher and have had to do a lot of research to create this website. Even after living in Greeley for over 30 years, there was a lot I didn't know. I read a lot of books, read newspaper stories, talked to the museum experts, took classes and visited lots of places. It has been a fun learning experience. History is always facinating.

Tiffany McCall asked me to work with her third graders to make Hyperstudio Stacks on Greeley History. The project alerted me to the lack of materials the kids and teachers had to work with; therefore, I began to put together this Web Unit. Tiffany is also a volunteer at Centennial Village. Thanks, Tiffany, for getting me started!
