WHEREAS, Our American Voice® program is a non-partisan, in-school/after-school project based learning initiative that links the basics of American History, government and civics with technology and community involvement to educate, engage, and empower elementary and middle-grade students to become participative citizens in their communities; and

WHEREAS, This program teaches students critical thinking collaboration, leadership skills, and that citizenship starts not with the big issues, but with issues that are close to home. More than 1500 young girls and boys across the Chicago metropolitan areas, as well as in Roanoke Virginia and southern New Mexico, have participated in Our American Voice® program; and

BE IT RESOLVED, That we, the Mayor and members ofthe City Council of the City of Chicago, gathered here in assembly this tenth day of December, 2014 A.D., do hereby extend our congratulations to the Earle STEM Elementary School; and
