In April, LWV of Alachua County, together with Alachua County Public Schools, co-hosted the sixth annual Civics Challenge. The competition helps prepare seventh-grade students for their end-of-year exam while shining a spotlight on those students who excel in the study of our government. There are both in-person and virtual events and High Springs once again emerged as this year's overall champions. As a member of the League, your money and volunteers make this day possible by providing t-shirts, trophies, transportation, and food for the competitors. In addition, your funding has helped to pay for the online platform used to run the virtual competition. There is a proposal to expand the event to include high school students in the future.
