Founding Forward Sacramento students at the Constitution Bowl

5th Grade Constitution Bowl

Teams are awarded points based on their responses to questions posed by a moderator.  They are able to refer to their pocket constitutions and notes they have made in preparation for this event. Each member of the top three teams in each division will receive scholarships from $100-$750. But the real prize for all participants and observers of this event is a greater awareness and understanding or our founding documents and the principles upon which they are based.
