The National Civics Bee Application Portal Is Now Open! Everywhere we go, we seek out history and fun facts. We love teaching our kids about things old and new and try to make every vacation a learning opportunity. We also stress the importance of giving back to our community. Now that we have two middle schoolers, their interest has grown even more. They do so well in school because of this and LOVE social studies. For example, we’re in San Juan, Puerto Rico right now learning about their history. You may think it’s just a Caribbean Island full of beautiful beaches but it’s in fact full of history too! Starting with - it’s the oldest European-founded city in the Americas! Christopher Columbus landed in Puerto Rico in 1493 and it became a US territory in 1898 (after the Spanish-American War). They have so many fun facts in their little heads, they’re dying for The National Civics Bee - a fun competition for 6th-8th graders - to come to their school. In fact the US Chamber of Commerce Foundation created the National Civics Bee to encourage young Americans to engage in civics and contribute to their communities. The Civics Bee starts in the local community, with winners going to a state-level competition and then on to the National Civics Bee. Check out more on @civicsbuzz plus next year’s participants can submit their entries to register through January 8th, 2024 at nationalcivicsbee.org  📍If Civics Education is important to you too follow @themintchipmama  🇺🇸🐝👩🏼‍🏫 #NationalCivicsBee #civicsbuzz #civicseducation #civiceducation #relatablemom #puertorico #socialstudies #honestmama #motherhoodlife #momblog #realmomlife #mymamahood #raisingmytribe #communityminded #educationmatters #civicminded #historylovers #momwin #history
