Pinecrest and Indian Valley students filled the Pinecrest Elementary School Gymnasium on Tuesday, January 30, 2024. After finishing ten weeks in the Super Citizen Program, they are gathered to celebrate their accomplishments and honor local heroes. They chose heroes who embodied the traits of amazing citizens and read essays from the stage before presenting them with Authentic Liberty Replicas & Liberty Pins. The students learned that “when you honor a hero, you become a hero!” To see more images from the event, visit https://bit.ly/SCSLiberty
