The students in grades two and three in the Pike County School System honored those in their communities they deemed to be Super Citizens at a celebration program Wednesday morning at Troy University.

The students have participated in the Liberty Legacy Foundation Super Citizen Program which is designed to help elementary teachers teach civics, character, financial literacy and the Great American Story.

Becky Saunders, Liberty Legacy vice president of development, said the Super Citizen Program not only provides the students with the tools they need to become super citizens, it also brings awareness to those in their communities that are role model Super Citizens.

The students in the Pike County School System had the opportunity to nominate those in their communities they believe exemplify the characteristics of a Super Citizen.

Pike County Elementary students honored Rosalynd Pollard, second grade, and Lytelia “Missy” Berry, third grade, as their Super Citizens.

Banks Elementary second graders honored Jacob Sanders and third graders honored Linda Adams and Amy Garrett.

Goshen Elementary second graders honored their heroes, Leigh Ann Davis, Jessica Drivas, Belinda Cottrell and Gregorio Castillo.

New Life Christian second-graders chose James McClure as their hero.

Dr. Eric Law was the Super Hero of Covenant Christian’s second graders.

Rebecca Lester was the hero of Goshen Elementary third-grade students. New Life Christian third graders honored Ternisha Miles Jones and Lamar Spivey was honored by third graders at Covenant Christian School.

Program emcee Tahauny Cleghorn congratulated the students on receiving certificates acknowledging that they take pride in being the next Great Americans. She led the students in a rousing rendition of the Libby USA song. She joined Saunders as she congratulated all of the Super Heroes and recognized the outstanding teachers in the Pike County School System. Saunders had words of appreciation for Troy Bank & Trust for its sponsorship of the Liberty Legacy program in Pike County.
