With 575 second graders in attendance, the Super Citizen Celebration at Albertville Primary School was a HUGE success! In addition to receiving graduation certificates from the Super Citizen Program, they took the lessons they learned in the classroom and practiced them in the real world.
Today, that practice included honoring 23 local heroes who embodied the characteristics they have been learning about in the program. This emotional event caps months of learning in civics, character, financial literacy and social studies. Huntsville-based Liberty Learning Foundation donated the teaching kits (The Hands on Learning civics) and orchestrated these large events to help students understand they are part of something bigger … that they are important parts of their classes, communities and country.
