America is freedom. Its diversity. Its my home and the place I love. I recently traveled to NYC and I was so excited to see all the landmarks and actually be in the places Ive learned about. Im excited for my future because I feel like theres a lot to look forward to. I feel like if us Americans work together we can achieve anything. That means coming together, doing the right thing and working towards goals. I think those goals are respect, inclusion and peace.
Join all Americans and share your story about your history and your hopes and dreams for the future of our country. Together, we will tell the American story through videos and the most inclusive commemoration in our history.
Engaging students nationwide to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary!
This contest invites students in grades 3–12 to share their perspectives on what America means to them — and earn the opportunity to travel for field trip experiences at some of the nation’s most iconic historic and cultural landmarks.
