Sloman Elementary students gathered together anticipating the arrival of Libby Liberty™ and her Next Great Americans Tour bus. Today, October 22nd, marks the beginning of the exciting Super Citizen Program in this great school.

Students filled the lunchroom waiting for Libby 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.  These young students will be participating in the Hands on Liberty program that incorporates the famous talking, helping hand, Mr. Palmer, who brings music and lessons with his 20 Finger Band.  The students will have a blast.

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 cap off the day, students joined together in a roaring “thank you” scream to their teachers and the generous sponsors from Alatrade and Job Source for helping them become our Next Great Americans.
