Douglas Elementary students gathered together anticipating the arrival of Libby Liberty™ and her Next Great Americans Tour bus. Today, October 22nd, marks the beginning of the Super Citizen Program for these fantastic students.

Students filled the lunchroom of Douglas Elementary 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.

These students were captivated by the program and enthusiastically interacted with Libby from the crowd.  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 finish off today’s kickoff event, students joined together in a roaring “thank you” scream to their teachers and their heroic sponsors, Alatrade and Job Source for helping them become our Next Great Americans.
