Crenshaw County elementary school students honored eight local heroes in their annual celebration Friday. Crenshaw Christian Academy, Luverne, Highland Home and Brantley Schools gathered in the Luverne School Auditorium for the culmination of a 10-week study, the Super Citizen Program, to celebrate their accomplishments and honor citizens for lending a helping hand.
As part of the program operated by the Liberty Learning Foundation, students learned their roles in America’s future through an immersive study in civics, character, financial literacy and social studies. Then, as Torch Teams they chose heroes who embody citizenship, writing essays which they read from the stage and then presented with tokens of appreciation.
The event and sponsorship of Super Citizen teaching kits was made possible by the Crenshaw County Community Alliance. The foundation thanked community partners — the Alabama Department of Education, AlaTrade Foods – Corporate, Alfa Insurance, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama, Covington Electric Cooperative, Inc., Crenshaw County Farmers Federation, Powersouth Energy Cooperative, Regions Bank, Representative Chris Sells, ScreenTech, Inc. and Senator Will Barfoot.
