Celebrating Constitution Week 2012

CAR members teamed up with the DAR Arapahoe Chapter to celebrate the Constitution’s 225th Birthday.  They sponsored two huge events at local elementary schools.  The first event was held on September 17th at Pioneer Elementary in Lafayette.  It was an early morning wakeup call at 5:00am to setup for the 7:30am start time!  But it was well worth it.  This was a great opportunity to be in the community and help other kids learn about our Constitution, the founding fathers and the Battle of Saratoga.    Also, the 200 pieces of carrot cake, 100 bagels and strawberries were a huge hit!  Patriotic stickers and pencils were handed out while promoting the DAR JAC and American History Essay Contests.  The Lafayette mayor supported the event and signed a Proclamation commerating Constitution Day. Check out the video on YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBZcAerKiS4

 

The next Constitution Day event was held at Coal Creek Elementary in Louisville on September 18th.  This is the fourth year in a row to host this event at Coal Creek.  The event’s reputation continues to grow.  Approximately 500 students attend this school and nearly all of them participated in the Constitution Day Celebration.  We overheard someone saying that the kids look forward to this event all year long and it ranks right up there with the Halloween Party.  It was so encouraging to see the children’s enthusiasm for the Constitution.  100 pocket constitutions, 100 flag protocols, hundreds of patriotic stickers and pencils were given to the students.  They also loved the cupcake tree and devoured 550 cupcakes and 100 pieces of carrot cake in a matter of minutes!
