But there are plenty of resources for teaching younger kids about the Oklahoma City bombing and the hope and resilience that sprang forth after. Museum staff suggest: • A Day to Remember by Oklahoma City National Memorial Trust *Watch America’s Got Talent winner Darci Lynne Farmer reading this book at youtube.com • The Survivor Tree by Gaye Sanders • If the Fence Could Talk by Brad Robison • Love Won: The Oklahoma Standard by Cathy and Frank Keating

Postponed until Oct. 4 The 20th anniversary of the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon has been postponed from its original April 26 date until Oct. 4. On this day, students through sixth grade can participate in the Kids Marathon. Kids can register with their schools or as individuals to run and log 25 miles prior to race day, when they will complete the final 1.2 miles on the official course. The 5k is another great option for families to participate in together.
