We are excited to recognize Connie MestaHernandez for her incredible contributions to civic education! Connie is a dedicated teacher at Sunnyside Unified School District and a supportive mentor for We the People educators. She went above and beyond when she facilitated at the We the People Summer Institute, where her expertise and perspective as an elementary educator were invaluable. She continues her support of We the People by contributing to an upcoming professional development session for the Civics that Empowers All Students (CEAS) program. Connie also developed creative and engaging lessons for Kids Voting Arizona, aimed at teaching younger students about civic participation. Her commitment to supporting teachers and advancing civic education is truly appreciated, and we are grateful for her continued support of our programs!
