National Constitution Day

Today we celebrated the birthday of the US constitution by honoring the document that laid the foundation for the creation of our country.  We learned that the constitution outlines the powers of the president, congress, courts, and most importantly the people. What makes our government and country exceptional is the fact that our nation was founded around limited government and giving power to the people rather than its leaders.  In honor of this tradition each class also got the opportunity to vote for their student council representatives. Later we had the chance to sign a large copy of the constitution and visit with the likes of Uncle Sam, James Madison, and George Washington.
