This past Tuesday, September 17th, students and staff in Chambers County Schools celebrated Constitution Day across the school district. Constitution Day is an American Federal government initiative to observe and recognize the adoption of the U.S. Constitution on the 17th of September.
The date commemorates the delegates from the Constitutional Convention signing the official document that would become our Constitution on Sept. 17, 1787, in Philadelphia, PA. A 2004 amendment passed by Congress officially established the holiday and the mandate for educational programs in our schools on the history of the American Constitution. Chambers County Schools hosted multiple activities across the school district to promote Constitution Day.
CCSD Superintendent, Dr. Casey Chambley noted that the system’s principals and teachers across the system were doing a great job of teaching citizenship with this activity.
Below are some pictures of the events and activities conducted for the CCSD’s observance of Constitution Day:
