Get ready for an emotional experience that will rock your school, thrill your heart and give you hope for the future of America! This is an interactive simulated experience that staff and participants love!
Participants are immigrants with the quest to become TRUE AMERICANS. Most people in America were born in America and don’t know what it is like to not have the freedoms and blessing we have. This event provides an opportunity for students to become “immigrants” on a quest to become TRUE AMERICANS. It is an opportunity to “re-dedicate” our citizenship in the principles that have made America great.
Volunteers and faculty become “Ellis Island Officials” who explain each Milestone of Freedom, ask students to make the necessary citizenship commitments, and administer the citizenship test.
We define a TRUE AMERICAN as someone who loves the principles America was founded upon and who will work to keep America free!
To recognize TRUE AMERICANS your school is turned into Ellis Island complete with an interactive assembly, passports, citizenship testing, citizenship commitments and much more! Those involved will sense a swell of patriotism as they go through the requirements to become TRUE AMERICANS.
The event can be left up in the evening for a presentation open to families and members of the community.
