#ICYMI Voice of Democracy state winners and the Patriot’s Pen national winner were honored with a special trip to @foundingforward at Valley Forge. During the four-day immersive experience, students explored America’s founding ideals through hands-on learning, historic tours, and leadership activities—deepening their understanding of freedom, democracy, and civic responsibility.

Final morning of @foundingforward teacher workshop on Lincoln and spent at the Union League House on Philly examining artwork with Jordan Sokol, the artist of Frederick Douglass painting. Great insight behind the art. Best teacher workshops are done by @foundingforward – at Philadelphia, PA
