This just in from the Mansfield Center:
The
Mansfield Center is partnering with the National Chamber of Commerce Foundation
to host the 2025 Montana
Civics Bee for middle school students. Students who participate
will strengthen their civics, writing, and public speaking skills, and form
friendships with other young leaders along the way!
A brief
overview of the Montana State Civics Bee:
- 6th, 7th,
and 8th grade students must submit a 750-word (max) essay proposing their
ideas for improving their community by February 4th, 2025.
- Top-scoring
essays will be invited to participate in the Montana State Civics Bee in
late spring 2025 for the chance to win cash prizes at the state level.
- The winner
of the State Bee will be sent on an all-expenses paid trip to Washington,
DC to compete in the National Civics Bee in fall 2025 for the chance to
win $100,000 towards
college.
The United
States is experiencing a crisis in civic education among younger generations,
and the Mansfield Center is working to correct this issue by offering
opportunities for young Americans to engage with civics and strengthen our
democracy moving forward. We are thrilled to gather students from across the
state for this exciting event!
