Join the Library's Good Citizen Challenge Club!

Past event
Jul 9, 2024, 3 to 4:30 PM

The world needs more Good Citizens — people who nurture our communities and value our democracy; who listen to and consider different perspectives; who pitch in, help others and take care of the things we all share.

Since 2018, the Good Citizen Challenge has been encouraging Vermont students in grades K-8 to learn civics and practice the habits of good citizenship.

Each Challenge invites participants to learn about their communities, their government and news literacy — and find ways to help others. In return, the organizers recognize their work in Seven Days newspaper and parenting magazine Kids VT — and in person during a reception at the Vermont State House.
Participants also win prizes, and everyone who enters the 2024 Challenge will have a chance to win a free trip for two to Washington, D.C.!

The Morristown Centennial Library wants to help local kids participate in the Good Citizen Challenge this summer through group projects and field trips around town. We will be meeting on Tuesdays starting July 9 from 3:00-4:30.

For our first meet up, this Tuesday July 9, we will be heading over to the Morristown Fire Station to meet with some of our community's volunteer firefighters. We will check out the station, find out what it takes to be a volunteer firefighter, and ask questions about how our local fire department works. Adults are certainly welcome to join, or kids 8 and up can be dropped off at the library at 3:00.

To sign your child up for our library's Good Citizen Challenge Club and receive communication about future Good Citizen events, please email us at info@centenniallibrary.org. For more information about the Good Citizen Challenge visit http://goodcitizenvt.com.

We're looking forward to getting out into the community with our kids this summer!
