In a little more than two years, the United States will mark a historic milestone: our Semiquincentennial, or 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Efforts to commemorate and celebrate this momentous occasion have already begun in earnest – spearheaded by the official national organization, America250.
Today, the American Village is excited to announce that we are joining America250 in this important endeavor, and we are hopeful you will help us spread the word about this opportunity!
America’s Field Trip is a nationwide scholastic contest designed to actively engage America’s youth in commemorating the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. From now until May 17, 2024 elementary, middle, and high school students are invited to submit artwork, videos, or essays on topics relating to American history, civics, and culture. The official prompt and submission guidelines can be found at america250.org/FieldTrip.
First-place awardees will be provided the opportunity to visit select historical, educational, and cultural sites across the country where they can participate in special tours at landmarks like Yellowstone National Park or historic sites such as the Library of Congress. The American Village is also among the national site visits offered to awardees!
America’s Field Trip is an extraordinary opportunity, and we are committed to ensuring as many students as possible have the opportunity to get involved in this contest. To do that, we need your help spreading the word to fellow teachers, students, and families. We encourage you to visit and share america250.org/FieldTrip for more information, including resources, contest rules, release forms, and toolkit materials to integrate the contest into classroom activities.
Thank you for your support in this effort to ensure that young people’s voices are included in this historic milestone. Together, we will make the 250th anniversary of America the most significant and inclusive commemoration of all time.
