Today, 175 students filled the James W Wilson Elementary stage. After finishing 10 weeks in the
Super Citizen Program, they are gathered to celebrate their accomplishments and honor local heroes from the stage.
These students have learned their important roles in America’s future thanks to an immersive experience in civic, character, financial literacy and social studies. And in the closing piece of the program, Torch Teams (or “Helping Hands” for the younger students), students are applying those crucial lessons in the real world. They chose heroes who embodied the traits of amazing citizens and read essays from stage before presenting them with
Authentic Liberty Replicas & Liberty Pins. They learned that “when you honor a hero, you become a hero!”
See the Torch Teams & Helping Hands Heroes honored today in the photo gallery below!
Today’s event and the donation of Super Citizen teaching kits was made possible by Wilson & Associates / New Park and passionate community sponsors. With their help, we are teaching, inspiring and empowering our Next Great Americans.
A huge thank you to WSFA and Montgomery Advertiser who were on hand to help spread the word about these children, their achievements and this entire community!
Did you see today’s event? Were you as emotional as we were? Will you help us continue this amazing mission?
Please consider making a gift of any amount today ><
