America’s 250th birthday with a year-long competition that showcases student creativity and engagement with foundational American values! Each month, students will submit creative works—written, oral, or visual—on a key theme. A classroom winner will be selected, and top entries will have the chance to be recognized statewide!
🔹 How It Works: ✅ Step 1: Classroom Competition – Students create and compete within their class. ✅ Step 2: Statewide Recognition – Teachers submit classroom winners for a chance to win prizes in statewide monthly raffles.
🔹 What Teachers Get: 📚 Elementary – Read-alouds, mini-lessons, stickers, and placemats to track progress. 📜 Secondary – Mini-lessons, a classroom poster for student responses, and themed giveaways like stickers, pens, and pocket Constitutions.
🏆 Winning entries will be featured in a commemorative coffee table book, preserving student voices in America’s 250th celebration! 🎊
