The Civics Bee is an exciting initiative aimed at inspiring civic engagement and knowledge among middle school students. More than just a competition, this event encourages critical thinking about civic issues, helps students understand their role in democracy, and equips them with the skills to create a lasting impact.
By promoting civic literacy, the Civics Bee strengthens the foundation of our community and empowers young people to actively shape their futures. It’s a chance for students to build pride in community participation and collaborate on solving real-world problems.
