GCRW Deliver Constitutions to fifth-grade students

Each year, on Constitution Day, Grimes County Republican Women present all fifth-grade students in Grimes County with their own copy of the U.S. Constitution. The GCRW take a few minutes with each group to discuss the importance of the Constitution and share several interesting facts such as the document being signed on Sept. 17, 1787. That helps the students understand why the group shares, as required by federal law, an educational program about the U.S. Constitution and why it is always celebrated on Sept. 17.

In addition, GCRW also donates a book to the school library. This year the book was the third in the Rush Limbaugh series, titled Rush Revere and the Star-Spangled Banner.

GCRW members who helped with the annual project and the schools they visited were Lyn Gardiner and Johnnie Peterson- John C. Webb and Brule Elementary, Bobbi Montford and Marilyn Bettes- High Point, Anderson-Shiro and Richards Elementary, Susan Patrick - Iola Elementary and Sherry Fauth - Madisonville Elementary since a number of Bedias children attend there.

DAR thanks the superintendents in each of the school districts, Navasota, Anderson-Shiro, Richards, Iola and Madisonville, for allowing Grimes County Republican Women to help schools recognize and celebrate Constitution Day.
