On April 8, 2020, the Robert H. Jackson Center invites students in grades 9 through 12 to experience history in a unique and provocative way. The Jackson Center is bringing Living Voices offered by Theatreworks USA to present multiple performances of Hear My Voice for high school students. Students will experience a unique multi-media combination of theater, digital, and live interaction that creates a high impact experience and unforgettable journey through history. Performances will be held at 9:00am and 12:00pm.

On Saturday, May 9, 2020, at 10:00 a.m., the Robert H. Jackson Center will host its first-ever Battle of the Books.  Our battle invites any Chautauqua County students in the sixth through eighth grades to demonstrate their abilities and test their knowledge of a pre-selected list of books they have read in preparation for the battle.  Student teams earn points by answering questions about the books on the list. At the end of six rounds of questioning, we total the points earned by each team and the team with the most points will win the battle!

The Robert H. Jackson Center's Young Readers Program uses literature to engage young people with their world by inspiring them to read and hone their analytical skills and writing ability. This year, the Jackson Center has invited A.S. King to talk with students on “Being a Superhero" on May 19th, 2020.

On June 17 & 18, 2020, Living Voices: "Through the Eyes of a Friend" and "New American" return to the Jackson Center. Students in grades 3-7 are invited to view the performances at the Center.  Pre-registration is required.
