Tipton’s visit with the fifth grade class preceded Constitution Day, which commemorates the day the Founding Fathers signed the U.S. Constitution on September 17, 1787. “The Constitution is our nation’s most sacred document and I believe it’s incredibly important for students to learn what’s in it, the history behind it, and most importantly have an understanding of how the Constitution safeguards our freedom,” Tipton said. “I was honored to visit Kemper Elementary today to talk about the Constitution with students and answer their questions. Constitution Day is a great opportunity for parents and teachers everywhere to take some time to teach their kids about the Constitution and our nation’s heritage, and to foster an appreciation of how fortunate we are to live free.” View high resolution photos of the visit here. Constitution Day was designated by Public Law (108-447 Sec. 111 Division J - SEC. 111(b)), and states that all levels of educational institutions receiving federal funds are required to educate students on the U.S. Constitution on or around this date.
