Tomorrow, September 17, marks the 235th anniversary of the signing of the United States Constitution. First written in 1787, the U.S. Constitution is the oldest of all the written constitutions in the world.
The Constitution not only provides the basis for our national government, but it also contains the Bill of Rights, which include some of our most precious freedoms as citizens of the United States. These rights are unique in the history of the world because they are rights guaranteed to all citizens, not just a privileged few.
While you are enjoying your Saturday, please take a moment to appreciate all the freedoms you enjoy. It all comes from the U.S. Constitution!
It's official! Hispanic Heritage Month has begun! What better way to kick off the celebration than by sharing this beautiful graphic created by Mrs. Campos in 2nd grade!
