This 4th and 5th Grade Social Studies course takes students on a year-long journey from local history to hands-on civic leadership.

In the final quarter, students apply their knowledge through a Kids Congress simulation, where they establish a classroom government, draft and debate bills, and participate in the legislative process with the class serving as Congress and the teacher acting as President.
