Student Shoutout!!!
Last semester, Helena Shelly completed a research project on homelessness and went a step further than the assignment required—she reached out directly to the White House to ask how the federal government is addressing the issue.
Today, Helena received a response acknowledging her concern for the challenges facing our nation and encouraging students like her to stay engaged, work hard, and continue making a positive impact in their communities.
This is exactly what we hope students take away from civics and social studies: that real issues matter, that asking thoughtful questions matters, and that their voices—even as students in rural Kansas—matter.
Very proud of Helena for her initiative and willingness to engage with a complex, real-world issue. This is active citizenship in action.
