Each year our Grizzly Student Council sponsors All American Week. This year that tradition continues. To commemorate 9/11 Remembrance Day, Constitution Day, and Citizenship Day we are asking that you contemplate the following questions:

  • How does the U.S. Constitution benefit you and your family?
  • How does the U.S. Constitution benefit your community?
  • How does the U.S. Constitution benefit our country?

These questions are important because they make us stop and contemplate the significance of the Constitution and our freedoms in general. With those questions in mind, Student Council is hosting several contests for all grade levels! Below are the details for each one.
