A crowd of 500 students cheered and clapped as they awaited the arrival of The Next Great Americans Tour Bus carrying Lady Liberty. When she finally appeared on stage, it was clearly an experience these kids will not forget. The Green Lady brought history to life and introduced the 100 fifth graders in attendance to the Super Citizen Program they will be participating in. For the next 10 weeks, students will have a rapid and exciting infusion of civics, character, financial literacy, careers and social studies to combat the shrinking sliver of time spent on those crucial subjects in schools.
Among the local dignitaries, press, parents & business leaders was former Huntsville mayor Loretta Spencer who we did not have time to interview. But we’re pretty sure she was all-in based on the fist pumps she displayed during the singing “YOU in the USA.” see the unedited video footage here >
