Students at the School District of DeSoto
recently took part in Modern Woodmen of America’s Patriotic
Civics Program. The free program uses original and favorite
patriotic songs to reinforce classroom lessons and activities on
history and civics.
Entitled, “Our Great Democracy,” the
program is divided into three age groups. It can be used with
kids in preschool through eighth grade, and it meets many
national teaching standards.
Program materials include a comprehensive
leader’s guidebook filled with lesson plans and activity ideas;
an audio CD of original and favorite patriotic songs that
support the curriculum; student workbooks; and red, white and
blue wristbands for each child.
The new program is one of six free Youth
Educational Programs Modern Woodmen offers to schools,
homeschoolers, and youth groups nationwide. The program benefits
more than one million kids annually.
Founded in 1883 as a fraternal benefit
society, Modern Woodmen of America celebrates its 125th
year of serving members and their communities. The organization
offers financial services and fraternal member benefits to
individuals and families throughout the United States.
