Georgia Civics Day 2008

Secretary of State, Karen Handel and State Superintendent of Schools, Kathy Cox, are proud to announce that Civics Day 2009 will be held on Friday, October 2, 2009. This year, the Civics Day website has been updated with information for both educators and students.

Items that are new to the site include:
 The State of Georgia Civics Day Quiz and Certificate of Participation
 Links for registering to vote
 Poll worker information request
 Elected official contact information
 Georgia Election Results

In addition to the many resources available on the Civics Day website, we also encourage you to consider inviting a local elected official to your school to speak about the importance of elections and civics. As educators, you can make a dramatic, long-term impact on your students’ understanding of their civic duties by educating them on the importance of voting; increasing their awareness and appreciation for the unique rights and freedoms U.S. citizens enjoy; and increasing their knowledge of U.S. history.

We hope you will agree that the Civics Day program is a valuable tool that enhances your social studies curriculum. If you have any questions or suggestions regarding Civics Day programming, please contact Kristen Riley in the Secretary of State’s Office at: 404-463-0579, or kriley@sos.ga.gov.
