While you’re visiting a school, don’t miss the opportunity to mention the Smart/Maher VFW National Citizenship Education Teachers Award. The VFW wants to identify and recognize America’s best educators who instill a sense of national pride in students. Teachers who promote civic responsibility, flag etiquette and patriotism are prime candidates. It offers cash awards, commemorative plaques and all-expense paid trips to the VFW National Conventions for those worthy teachers. That honor can establish a great relationship that opens the door for all of the VFW and Auxiliary programs.
Additional information concerning the execution of the program can be found at www.vfw.org, behind the login within the VFW Training and Support hub, under Community Service, Youth Scholarships and Activities.
