Legacy of Letters: Imagine the impact of receiving 14 sets of letters from parents and grandparents, chronicling their dreams and stories over the years. These letters become a priceless family record, offering a tangible connection to the past and a guide for the future.
Long-Term Benefits: Schools that actively participate in the Time Capsule Project have seen improvements in student behavior, academic achievement, and a decrease in negative outcomes like teen pregnancies and dropouts. The project strengthens family bonds and encourages students to set and pursue meaningful goals, supported by a deep understanding of their roots.
Call for Research: The Time Capsule Project is open-source and ripe for formal research. It presents a unique opportunity for those pursuing advanced studies in human behavior or education, with the potential to contribute to scholarly work and publications.
For More Information: For further details on the project, or to become involved as a Time Capsule Postmaster, please contact Bill Betzen, LMSW (Emeritus), a retired Dallas ISD middle school teacher at bbetzen@aol.com.
