Sen. Stevenson urges use of national-motto poster and 10-minute classroom plan
Summary
Senator Stevenson drew the Senate's attention to a poster and accompanying 10-minute curriculum placed at each desk, saying the material (provided by a constituent in Highland, Oak Norton) explains the national motto and is in the public domain for classroom use or private fundraising for additional copies.
Senator Stevenson asked colleagues to note a poster and handout placed at every desk in the chamber and said the materials had been provided to Alpine School District by a constituent in Highland named Oak Norton.
"This is provided, to the schools in the Alpine School District by a constituent of mine who lives in Highland, Oak Norton," Stevenson said, noting the package includes a second page with "a 10 minute curriculum plan explaining how we arrived at this motto, what a republic means" and related classroom material. She suggested the poster and short lesson could be used in back-to-school efforts either in addition to or as an alternative to existing classroom materials.
Stevenson also told senators the content is in the public domain and additional posters could be privately funded if districts or constituents wanted more copies. The senator encouraged colleagues to review the two-page handout and consider distributing it to schools in their districts.
