August 10th, Cherokee County Republican Women's President Lori Pesta held a meeting of Cherokee County School District, community and political leadership who have made a enthusiastic effort to enhance Constitutional education in GA.
Mr. Don Conkey, author and constitution specialist; GA Representative Calvin Hill of DST 21, author of GA HB 32; Dr. Carla Cohen, Director of Curriculum (CCSD); Mr. Mike McGowen, Director of Public Information Communications and Partnerships (CCSD) and Mrs. Carrie Budd (CCSD) were all in attendance.
The point of discussion was a bi-partisan education effort to present a new Liberty Day program in the classrooms on or about September 17th of each year to further enhance the federal mandated education efforts in reference to public classroom study of the Constitution of the United States.
The comprehensive Liberty Day teaching guide includes a book of the U S Constitution, teaching lessons, flash cards, questions, children’s quiz and evaluation form/survey. More details: www.ccrwcga.com
The Liberty Day program has been accepted in many states across the country. Proclamations by Republican President G W Bush as well as President B. Obama have been recorded in reference to this valuable program.
Dr. Carla Cohen was very positive about the program and will be working with Mrs. Pesta to explore the presentation of the program in several grade levels.
