Constitution Day
In 2004, Congress passed an amendment making September 17 Constitution Day. The law requires all publicly funded educational institutions to provide programming on that day to educate students about the Constitution of the United States. In May 2005, the U.S. Department of Education announced the enactment of this law and applied it to all schools receiving federal funds of any kind.

The ACLU of Indiana is signing up volunteers and classrooms for Constitution Day, Tues., Sept. 17.

• We’ll offer a learning toolkit to educators and classroom volunteers, which includes games, contests and lesson plans to make learning about the Constitution fun.

• The program is targeted to middle school students, but can be made available to any interested classroom in Indiana.

• Educators wishing to host a program in their classrooms and volunteers wishing to help civic literacy by visiting a classroom are invited to sign up for the Constitution Day program by emailing info@aclu-in.org.
  
  Sign up for Constitution Day: info@aclu-in.org!
