We’re excited that Spike 150, the Governor’s Commission for the Transcontinental Railroad 150^th Celebration, has chosen the BTSALP to collaborate on a Graphic Novel project.   

Spike 150 is sponsoring a state-wide arts integration event in which seven BTS teams (4th grade teachers, BTS specialist) and with the help and guidance of a professional cartoonist, will guide their students through the creation of classroom graphic novels. Each of these graphic novels will tell a self-contained story.

Upon their completion, all seven of these stories will be collected into an e-book anthology. This e-book will be made available on the Golden Spike and BTSALP Website for people around the world.

Participating Schools:

• Mountain View, Brigham City, Maele Shakespear
• Horace Mann, Ogden City, Brent Rhodes
• Farnsworth, West Valley City, Britt Black
• South Summit, Kamas, Kathleen Briley
• Helen Knight, Moab, Bruce Hucko
• Enoch, Cedar City, Kirsten Anderson
• Red Mountain, St. George, Kelly McDonald-Cope
