Andalusia students gathered together anticipating the arrival of Libby Liberty™ and her Next Great Americans Tour bus. Today, October 16th, marks the beginning of the exciting Super Citizen Program in this great city.
Over 300 second and third graders filled the floor of their gymnasium waiting for Libby to appear. The lady in green brings history to life on stage and introduces students to the 10-week civics, character, financial literacy and social studies program they will be immersed in when her bus rolls away.
Among the lessons she taught today: “You already hold the most important title in the United States: the title of citizen.”
Near the end of the program, students will honor heroes and become heroes themselves. To cap off the day, students joined together in a roaring “thank you” scream to their teachers and the generous sponsors of CCB Community Bank for helping them become our Next Great Americans.
