Website Update...
May 1, 2008!

New marketing initiatives have increased AHEF web hits exponentially and surpassed expectations this April! April website activity reached 8,245 hits and over 32,000 page views, passing February records of 6,109 hits and 24,086 page views, for 35% and 34% increases respectively!  We are on pace to exceed 40,000 website hits for the year--a 30% increase over last year!

In April we surpassed 100,000 web hits since inception!  Thank you, America!

Orders for our free American Heritage patriotic, factual, objective lesson plans have surpassed 11,000 for the year!

Check out our expanded partnership initiatives on our Partnerships page. Join AHEF as a partner in the effort to address the national civics problem (see Problem page) and to rebuild America!

Why such amazing gains for a small foundation?  The lesson plans are of quality and FREE!  AHEF believes America's founding history and ideals should be learned, not sold.

The huge gains are also attributable to a strong desire among teachers, parents, and students for AHEF's free, quality resources on America's founding ideals that, according to experts and research, are not often taught in schools and unavailable in many textbooks.

Teachers and citizens are taking advantage of one of the best values in American history, social studies, and civics resources!

"...Schools do more than train children's minds.  They also help to nurture their souls by reinforcing the values they learn at home and in their communities. I believe that one of the best ways we can help out schools to do this is by supporting students' rights to voluntarily practice their religious beliefs, including prayer in schools....  For more than 200 years, the First Amendment has protected our religious freedom and allowed many faiths to flourish in our homes, in our work place and in our schools.  Clearly understood and sensibly applied, it works."
--President
Bill Clinton
