What’s Coming Up: Celebrate Constitution Day

Constitution Day is observed each year in September to commemorate the signing of the Constitution on September 17, 1787, and to “recognize all who, by coming of age or by naturalization, have become citizens.” The iCivics Committee is dedicated to teaching students about this important piece of history through classroom presentations that focus on Constitution-related topics and through the distribution of pocket Constitutions to encourage reading and activism as leaders in our democracy. 

On Monday September 18, 2017, YLD members will have the opportunity to take part in the celebration of Constitution Day by volunteering in classrooms across the state. This year’s presentation will focus on the vital role of separation of powers in our government. The iCivics Committee will be calling for volunteers in the coming weeks, so please be sure to save the date!
