“The majority of Julie’s students pass a citizenship test near the end of each school year. Her students interview veterans and active duty military member and write tribute essays every year. These tributes are then compiled into a booklet to share with service members. She leads her students in special lessons that are prepared and presented for Veterans Day, Memorial Day, Pearl Harbor Day, Constitution Day and President’s Day. Julie does a very thorough job of teaching U.S. Citizen’s rights and responsibilities to her fifth grade students. She often shows a comparison of many other countries that lack these same rights. Her class initiated and coordinated a “Wounded Warriors” Valentine’s Day drive. Each of her students participate in the “Why I am Proud to be an American” essay contest, and she has proudly had a local winner in the past.” -- Gary Bates, Keewahdin Principal
