The first annual Civics Summit was held on Oct. 28 by invitation from Operation Democracy of Locust Valley. All Social Studies coordinators, Assistant Superintendents of Curriculum and Instruction, and High School Principals collaborated from CSH and Locust Valley school districts for 11th and 12th grade students interested in attending a Civics Summit that focused on civic education aligned with the NYSED Seal of Civic Readiness. Students learned about the Constitution, Civil Liberties and Rights and Responsibilities of Citizenship in America. The Summit was held at Nassau Community College and was an extension of our Remembrance Bowl curriculum week of learning. Students engaged with elected officials, judges, writers, and educators and they had the opportunity to speak with Army Colonel Keith M. Knightingale, author of four books, including Phoenix Rising and D-Day: The Human Face of Normandy. Thank you to Operation Democracy for this fabulous convention and for providing programs that enhance education surrounding the Remembrance Bowl Project.
