Today, over 450 2nd graders from Grandview, Hidden Lake, Montana Street, Cloverdale and Heard Magnet Elementary Schools filled the Northview High School gymnasium. After finishing 10 weeks in the Super Citizen Program, they are gathered to celebrate their accomplishments and honor local heroes from the stage.

After being honored today, Stanley Davis, school mentor, retired from U.S. Department of Justice, says, “I hope they learn the importance of being a citizen, learn to respect others, and understand that they have a voice in the future of this country. The things that they learn from [Liberty Learning Foundation] and from us as mentors will shape them into being better citizens.”

Thanks to Mr. Palmer and his very hands-on teaching, these students have begun learning about their important roles in America’s future. The “Hands on Liberty” DVD series and accompanying activities and lesson plans teach crucial lessons in civics, character, financial literacy and social studies to the iPhone, iPad generation. And in the closing piece of the program, Helping Hands, students are applying those crucial lessons in the real world.
Students chose heroes who embodied the traits of amazing citizens and read essays from stage before presenting them with Liberty Pins. They learned that “when you honor a hero, you become a hero!”
