The Statehouse was truly converted into the one-room schoolhouse on March 20th with a civics education for all in celebrating our nation's 250th birthday. The Statehouse Reading of the Declaration of Independence with Students and Officeholders was a huge success! One hundred-twenty students and faculty from twelve different schools participated, with 200 attendees in total. It was grades 3-12, like the one-room schoolhouse. After the reading, during the lunch sponsored by LifeRead Volunteer Reading Tutoring, students heard verbal essays from office holders on “What America Means to Me.” After the lunch program, students were taken on a special tour of the Ohio Statehouse, including a special sitting in the Ohio House chamber, led by Reps. Jack Daniels, Sarah Fowler Arthur, Gary Click, Bill Roemer, and Melanie Miller. The kids had a great time at the People’s House and learned about our nation’s founding documents. They were each given the Declaration of Independence and a pocket U.S. Constitution. More public readings of the Declaration of Independence are being planned.
