Citizenship
The objectives of this outcome are set forth to ensure that a student will understand the democratic process and principles under which we live; be a participating and involved member of the community; and be a responsible, globally aware and tolerant citizen.
This year I participated in my community's Maple Syrup Festival Pageant and I was crowned the 2010 Maple Syrup Festival Queen. To win this competition I had to prove to the judges that I would represent my community well, that I had been active in my community, and that I was an all around good person. By winning this competition I now represent my community at all the surrounding area parades I attend. I have also been given many more opportunities to volunteer in my community through the maple syrup festival activities and my other Queenly duties. The above document is the award that I received for winning the title of Queen.

During my junior year of high school, I participated in the LINKS German Exchange program. In the fall of 2008, I hosted a German girl in my home and then in the spring of 2009 I stayed with her in Germany. While I was in Germany I experienced a new culture and I became globally aware. I learned so much about their history through my visits to Berlin, their museums, and a concentration camp. I now have a new outlook on the world and I have shared that with the community through presentations about my trip to Germany. The above document is award for participated in the program.

Every year I help volunteer at the Maple Syrup Festival and the above document is an award of appreciation from the Maple Syrup Festival Committee for my help. This past festival I folded silverware, made pancakes, sausage, maple syrup candy, and I helped out at the senior citizen dance. I have fulfilled the citizenship outcome because I am involved in my community through the maple syrup festival activities.
