Constitution Week Celebration

Springfield Jr / Sr High School kicked off their Constitution Week Celebration last week in commemoration of the 239th anniversary of the signing in 1787. Satchel Knight, Constitution Week Chairman, gave a ‘Constitution Fun Fact’ following breakfast. He will present a ‘fun fact’ each morning following breakfast September 17th through the 23rd. Satchel will place a display in the library offering free United States Flags and bookmarks.

The United States Constitution, America’s most important document, stands as a testament to the tenacity of Americans throughout history to maintain their liberties, freedoms and inalienable rights. And, Constitution Week is celebrated annually during the week of September 17-23 to commemorate its history, importance, and bring attention to how it serves still today.
