Earth Day is held on the same day each year, April 22nd. This year’s theme is Planets vs. Plastics, which is chosen annually by EarthDay.org. With Earth Day being this upcoming Monday, it creates an ideal opportunity to introduce the Earth Day theme and continue students’ understanding of this theme throughout the week!
This program examines the responsibilities of all citizens to make each community the best it can be through community involvement. Students learn the ins and outs of what a citizen is and find out what it takes to be a good one. They will also get tips on how they can get involved as good citizens at home and in their community, and they will explore one of the most valued rights of an American citizen—the right to vote!
Find out what being a citizen means and our duties as citizens. Being an American guarantees us certain rights that other countries don't allow.
