I recently posted about a gun safety presentation that was part of a larger safety day at my daughter's elementary school (My wife teaches there as well.) Some one else posted in that thread about using gun props in a opera production at high schools and the positive results of that. It got me to thinking of what kinds of firearm positive things actually happen in schools today.

Better than twenty years ago when i was in seventh grade, I was in the schools Rod and Gun Class. We were taught and tested in gun safety, were shot pellet guns at school, and we took a field trip to the skeet range. That was a long time ago. However, I am a public high school teacher and I know that there are still some positive things going on.
For example, in Southwest Missouri where I live and teach there are several schools that have competitive shooting teams. There is a school in central Missouri whose mascot is the Marksmen.
For the last four years I have had a student that is a Civil War reenacter. Every year he brings all his gear, including two rifles and two revolvers for a reenactment demonstration (He is not allowed to have them loaded.).
What other positive things do you know of that happen in schools today?
