Libby Liberty And The Next Great Americans Tour Makes Their Way To US Jones

US Jones students gathered together anticipating the arrival of Libby Liberty™ and her Next Great Americans Tour bus. Today, September 25th, marks the beginning of the Super Citizen Program at US Jones.

175 fifth graders filled the floor of their gymnasium waiting for Libby Liberty™ to appear. Libby 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 end the day, students joined together in a roaring “thank you” scream to their teachers for helping them become our Next Great Americans.
