On October 29, 2015 students from Thornton District 205 will compete in the congressional district level hearings of the We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution program. The students have studied for months to prepare for their role as experts testifying on selected constitutional issues in a simulated congressional hearing. The class that wins the congressional district level competition, will then compete at the state finals on December 11, 2015 at the Dirksen Federal Building in Chicago for the opportunity to represent Illinois at the national finals, April 29–May 3, in Washington, D.C. The We the People program is the most extensive education program in the country on the principles and values of the Constitution and Bill of Rights that embodies, and aims to give students a thorough understanding of their rights and responsibilities as American citizens. A panel of judges will test the expertise of the classes in various areas based on the We the People text. Students will address topics such as the history and philosophical ideas underlying the Constitution; the development and expansion of the Bill of Rights; and the role of citizens in American democracy. The program forces students to analyze constitutional principles and apply them to day-to-day life. Implemented nationwide in upper elementary, middle, and high schools, We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution has reached more than 30 million students and 90,000 teachers since its inception in 1987. The program is funded by the U.S. Department of Education under the Education for Democracy Act approved by Congress and directed by the Illinois Center for Civic Education through the Center for Civic Education. For more information about the program, contact the Illinois Center for Civic Education at 872-205-5650 or visit www.ilciviced.org.

ARLO KALLEMEYN Here is an inspirational poem written by 16-yearold, Chanie Gorkin from Brooklyn, N.Y. Worst Day Ever? Today was the absolute worst day ever And don’t try to convince me that There’s something good in every day Because, when you take a closer look, This world is a pretty evil place. Even if Some goodness does shine through once in a while Satisfaction and happiness don’t last. And it’s not true that It’s all in the mind and heart Because
Tr ue happiness ca n be attained Only if one’s surroundings are good It’s not t r ue t hat good exists I’m sure you can agree that The reality Creates My attitude It’s all beyond my control A nd you’l l ne ver i n a million years hear me say Today was a very good day Now read it from bottom to top, the other way, And see what I really feel about my day. Chanie Gorkin Arlo Kallemeyn Shopper Publisher – here is hoping you have a very good day.
