CELEBRATE CONSTITUTION DAY
September 17, 2012
Absolutely Free
As of 2004, the federal government requires instruction about the U.S. Constitution on September 17. The Jimmy Carter Presidential Library invites
teachers of students grades 3 to 7 to participate in a role playing performance on September 17 featuring storyteller Cathy Kaemmerlen's Let's Keep It A Secret,
a "behind the scenes" account of the writing of the US Constitution. Three times to choose from: 10:00am; 11:30am; 1:00pm
The Jimmy Carter Library & Museum and The Coca-Cola Foundation have generously established funding for the Carter Library to provide transportation funds for Georgia schools to use when bringing students to our newly-renovated museum for educational activities. [click here for details ]
