The Young Patriots program is an excellent resource for librarians and teachers involved with educating elementary and high school students about our flag, American history, social studies and government.
The Young Patriots program is produced in two parts. Educational Series One focuses on helping students learn the history of the flag, flag etiquette and the Pledge of Allegiance and is directed towards elementary school students.
Educational Series Two includes information on the U.S. Constitution, understanding our government, voting and active citizenship and is appropriate for high school students. For more information on these programs, visit www.americanflags.org.
Through a partnership with the National Flag Foundation, the Illinois Society of The National Society of Colonial Dames of America can provide the Young Patriots Educational Series One to classrooms and libraries throughout the state at no cost to the recipients.
