Welcome to the Madison-Oneida BOCES landing page for America 250, New York. As we celebrate the nation's semiquincentennial, we are working with local historical organizations and NYSED to place an extra emphasis on American history in our schools this year. Below you will find a host of activities broken down by grade-band. Each activity is color-coded: red for a one class-period activity; white for an activity that will last a week or two; blue for a month or more. And don't forget the National History Day Competitions!
