On Sept. 24th, 2014, one hundred fifth graders ar Lakewood Elelemtary cheered, sang and applauded as Lady Liberty took the stage. With help from community sponsors, Wells Fargo, these students are participating in the Super Citizen Program that helps educators engage, inspire & empower students through crucial (and too often neglected) lessons in civics, character, financial literacy, ethics, careers and our Great American Story. See how Liberty Learning & partners are impacting students & entire communities here >
The program is kicked off with an educational, entertaining performance by Lady Liberty and a visit from the Next Great Americans Bus Tour. This high-profile event sets the tone for the importance of the lessons being taught for the next 10 weeks. The program will culminate with the Graduation Celebration and presentation of Torch Team heroes from the community. In the final putting-it-all-together piece of the Super Citizen Program students team up, nominate and ultimately honor local heroes who exhibit the character traits they have been learning. Or, as we say: “When you honor a hero, you become a hero.”
