America for America's Education

I think that the bigger focus on being an American citizen is important for the future of American edcuation. I'm glad to say that the district I am a part of highlights this every month. The students leave every day knowing that they should be proud to be an American, and should study with pride. By taking pride in their work, their appearance, and with all that they do, they are paying tribute to being American.
