Students from Midland City and Newton Elementary schools gathered together anticipating the arrival of Libby Liberty™ and her Next Great Americans Tour bus. Today, October 14th, marks the beginning of the Super Citizen Program for these special citizens.
325 students filled the floor of their lunchroom waiting for Libby Liberty™ 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.”
WTBY, Jan Murray with Southeast Sun and Daleville Sun Courier were there to cover the event and support the students.
Near the end of the program, students will honor heroes and become heroes themselves. To finish off today’s event, students joined together in a roaring “thank you” scream to their teachers for helping them become our Next Great Americans!
