Pictures of the Week: Derby USD 260 students and staff celebrate Constitution Day

While third grade students across Kansas and the U.S. celebrated Constitution Day by participating in a virtual mock trial, students and staff members across Derby USD 266 also celebrated Constitution Day on Wednesday, Sept. 17. 

Photos and text from the Derby Public Schools Facebook page: (Top left and right) At Oaklawn Elementary, kindergarten students in Alison Fieser’s class completed fun, engaging activities in honor of Constitution Day. Students learned about the Constitution by collaborating to write their own class constitution built on the classroom values they identified. Each student signed their name at the bottom of the class constitution to make it official. Students also created American flag hearts and wrote personal pledge statements, like “I can help clean up,” showing how they could help contribute to a positive classroom.
