We The People National Competition Trip to D.C.
Donation protected
I am a member of the Jackson Hole High School We The People Team. In February my team placed first at the State level competition (the first Jackson team to ever win state), securing our spot in the National Finals in Washington D.C.
The cost per student to attend the National Competition is about $2,000. This covers plane tickets, food, and lodging. Each student on my team is required to raise $1,000 on their own while we, as a class, will raise the remaining amount together through fundraisers.
Please help me raise money to participate in this amazing experience.
We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution National Finals, sponsored by the Center for Civic Education, is a yearly competition involving high school students from throughout the U.S. The national finals simulate a congressional hearing and is held in D.C. Each class is divided into six units. Each unit focuses on a particular area of Constitutional interest - from the philosophical underpinnings and Constitutional Convention to the Bill of Rights and modern day implications. Students are judged on criteria such as their understanding, reasoning, responsiveness, and use of constitutional applications. During the national finals over 1,200 students from 56 classes testify before a total of 72 judges, in panels of three. The judges are history, political science, law, and education professors, members of the legal community, and others with a knowledge of the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
