Last month, schools took time to honor the Constitution of the United States during the annual Constitution Day. Constitution Day, which is held on the anniversary of the day the delegates in the Constitutional Convention signed the Constitution (Sept. 17, 1787), is a time to honor and reflect on the importance of the Constitution. Schools across Virginia Beach did just that. For example, Princess Anne Elementary School students created a We The People video, which you can see here.
For more examples of our students in action, click on any of the photos from our gallery below:

- Woodstock Elementary third graders celebrated Constitution Day, Sept. 17, by participating in the Preamble Challenge. The challenge was part of a lesson activity where students learn about the United States Constitution and then recite the Preamble in unison. Members of the Atlantic Fleet, local law enforcement, classroom teachers and school administrators also took part in the event.
