On Wednesday, Dec. 4th, more than 500 5th graders at Thompson Intermediate honored local heroes and celebrated completion of the Super Citizen Program.
“I believe it should be in every school, in every district of this nation,” says Alabaster City Schools Superintendent Wayne Vickers.
The program, made possible by Alabama Power Foundation and Liberty Learning Foundation, included 10-weeks of civics, character, financial literacy, career building, American history and emotional performances.
“I believe they entered fifth grade, not really understanding their roles in keeping this a great nation,” says Vickers. “But I believe that they left here today with a complete full understanding and a pledge in their hearts.”
Alabama State Senator Cam Ward, one of 26 heroes honored, says “This is the probably the greatest award I’ve ever received … I think it’s one of the best investments this company has ever made!”
