Last week some 200 elementary students from Brewton Elementary School came together to kick off the Super Citizen Program for 2024.
Students waved flags, wore Statue of Liberty crowns and counted down for Libby Liberty™ to take the stage.
On three huge screens “live video” shows her Next Great Americans tour pulling up to the school and then the real-life Libby walked out from behind the screens!
The lady in green brought history to life and introduced students to the 10-week civic, character, financial literacy and social studies program they will begin when her tour rolls away. She told them that they already have the most important title in the world: “CITIZEN.”
Students in multiple grades are participating in the Super Citizen Program. The younger grades are taught by an innovative civic education program starring Mr. Palmer (the hand-puppet host of the “Hands on Liberty” DVD series). Upper elementary grades learn from the original Super Citizen Program kit that features DVD-based lessons, class activities and the emotional, unforgettable “Torch Teams” project-based learning experience.
Students at Brewton Elementary and Middle Schools as well as Huxford Elementary enjoyed the presentations.
