At the recent School Board meeting, Copper Beech Elementary School Principal Ms. Stephanie Viola introduced fifth-grade teacher Mrs. Linda Hagarty and the seven-student team that participated in the 2015 Citizenship Challenge sponsored by the Rendell Center for Civics and Civic Engagement. The students, Kaydin Ford, Jonathan Kim, Sean Doyle, Andrew Shultes, Ashley Rice, Jamie Ehnow, and Kathryn Moran, competed in the finals held at the National Constitution Center, presenting a three-minute team presentation and answering questions about the issues of the rights and responsibilities of citizens. The Copper Beech team was selected as the third-place runner-up. Earlier this month former Governor Edward Rendell presented a $500 check to the students and Mrs. Hagarty. A video of the team’s presentation at the National Constitution Center was shown at the School Board meeting and can be viewed with the video of the March 22, 2016 School Board meeting, available on the School District website. Shown here are photos of the team members attending the School Board meeting and screens from the Constitution Center video. Photos of the presentation at Cooper Beech by Mr. Rendell can be seen on an earlier Facebook post.
