Constitution Day
Instructions for Clubs: Each club is to come to the Treasurers' Meeting on September 9th at 12 noon in the Driscoll Room and hand in one question related to the U.S. Constitution and the correct answer. Ideally, your question should relate to the theme of your club. When students enter the park for Fall Festival, they will be given a list of the questions and told that there are prizes for the most correct answers and a raffle for anyone with the correct answers to twenty questions. This will give the students an incentive to meet each club to collect the correct answer.
Resources for researching a good question can be found at the bottom of this page.
We plan to hand everyone a copy of the Constitution, but our copies are not in the office yet, so if you are doing something based on the text of the question, come prepared with the complete answer to hand out to students.
