Civically Engaged

Top 3 Finalists in the National Civics Bee.

On March 15, the Chaldean Community Foundation hosted its Second Annual National Civics Bee® local competition. The National Civics Bee® is an annual, nonpartisan competition designed to inspire young Americans to engage in civics and contribute to their communities. Students in grades 6-8 entered by submitting an essay showcasing their civic knowledge.

16 local middle school students competed in multiple-choice rounds, with the top three finalists advancing to a Q&A session discussing their specific essay topics. Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel led the event as the emcee, while Martin Manna, Sue Kattula, and Sterling Heights Mayor Michael Taylor served as judges.

Congratulations to our top 3 winners: Adlyn, Lauren and Angela. These three finalists are going to the State competition in Lansing in the coming months, with the opportunity to represent their schools and Michigan in the National Civics Bee®.
