The Rendell Center for Civics and Civic Engagement Citizenship Challenge
This event has no location
The Challenge is open to 4th and 5th grade classes enrolled in public, private, or parochial school, or home study programs from Philadelphia to the Capitol Region.
Individuals and our Classroom teams are asked to write an essay that addresses their point of view on the assigned issue. Teams take one position and defend their argument in a concise written document of a minimum of 300 words.
The contest is drawn from PA Civics standards relating to principles and documents of government; rights and responsibilities of citizens; and information on how government works.
