Constitution Day at S.W. Carter Elementary - September 17, 2009
Submitted by Evelyn Foster

On September 17, 1787, the United States Constitution was signed by brave men who changed the course of history. Constitution Day was created in 2004 as a time for us to continue their legacy and develop habits of citizenship in a new generation of Americans.

On September 17, 2009, the fifth grade students at S. W. Carter Elementary School drank lemonade and ate apple pie as they studied the constitution. Perhaps these two items were enjoyed by our Founding Fathers as they wrote this important document.
