Purpose Statements:

Liberty Lives Forever exists to supply pocket Constitution books containing the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution to ‘We the People’ with a focus on students.

Steps to implement Pocket Constitution Book Program

  1. Meet with the School District Superintendent to discuss how we could provide a great learning program for their 5th grade students. Notes: Show them the free book and be flexible with the schools and their schedules!
  1. Establish what type of program works best for that particular school (e.g. short essay, quiz, test, a Constitution Bee (like a Spelling Bee), etc. Note: Encourage children to use self-study questions within the Constitution Booklets to gauge learning.
  1. Have someone (public officials, service organizations, Veterans, business leaders, etc.) speak to the 5th grade class about the importance of the U.S. Constitution and give each student a U.S. Pocket Constitution book.
  1. Encourage schools to hold some sort of fun event to gauge or assess student learning and one that celebrates Constitution Day on September 17, 2019. .   Note:  Clubs can provide an “incentive to study” through cash awards and/or prizes to the schools that participated.
  1. Reach out to the local community TV station (if there is one), to videotape the Constitution Bee (or event) and show it on their local TV channel.
  1. The Sorenson Grant requires you to report back to the district on your program’s success, what school(s) participated, how many students participated, type of activity, competition winners, etc.
  1. Write an article about this program for the local media with photos, testimonials, local publicity, new members generated, etc.

Southern Utah Constitution Day 2026 Activities

Color Country Chapter DAR held a Constitution Live Read event on September 17 at Liberty Village’s Green Dragon Tavern located in Hurricane, Utah.  A total of 55 readers consisting of local students and local members of the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution and United We Pledge representatives gathered together to read the U.S. Constitution and Bills of Rights from beginning to end.  Each of the readers received a gift bag which included a Liberty Lives Forever pocket Constitution booklet, among other items, to take home.

A similar reading was held earlier that day at the historic Pioneer Courthouse.  The same process described above was also followed at this venue.  The readers did use the Liberty Lives Forever pocket Constitution booklets (one placed on each reader’s seat) to follow along as each participant read their part at the podium, but these were retrieved for future use particularly since each reader went home with a copy of their own that was part of their gift bag.  

St George News covered both events in this article:
