About the Bee
AC-REP is proud to partner with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation to bring the National Civics Bee® to Greater Adams County. The Bee is a nonpartisan civics competition that encourages middle school students to engage in civics and contribute to their communities.
Students in 6th, 7th and 8th grade compete for recognition and cash prizes. Local winners advance to the Colorado state competition, and state finalists earn a trip to Washington, D.C., for the national championship.
Why Civics?
A strong economy and a thriving workforce depend on informed, engaged citizens. The National Civics Bee helps young people build civic knowledge, confidence and pride in their community.
For AC-REP, supporting the next generation of leaders is part of being invested in Greater Adams County.
