Selma Schools Have Huge Turnout for Liberty - Liberty Learning Foundation

On Monday, September 28th, 1050 students from Selma City Schools gathered together to kick of the Super Citizen Program at the Selma High School Auditorium.

They could not believe their eyes when Libby Liberty™, all the way from New York Harbor, stepped off onto the stage. She brought history to life, led them in song and introduced them to the 10-week Super Citizen Program they’ll begin when her tour bus rolls away.

The Liberty Learning Foundation is thrilled to help Selma City Schools implement crucial lessons in civics, social studies, character, financial literacy and career development into the classroom before we return for graduation.

Mayor George Evans was there in support and WSFA covered the event locally. In about 10 weeks, the students will graduate from the Super Citizen Program, take the Super Citizen Oath and honor individuals in their community who they believe to be “Super Citizens.”

As Libby Liberty™ pulled away in her bus, she was filled with hope and excitement for the students of Selma as they embark on this wonderful journey to becoming “Super Citizens.”
