Join the “Semiquincentennial School States Challenge!”
States shown in red have already been claimed.
Our nation celebrates four important 250th anniversaries in 2025-26: Army (Jun. 14, 2025), Navy (Oct. 13, 2025), Marines (Nov. 10, 2025), and America’s 250th birthday on July 4, 2026.
Challenge, Part I: Say “Semiquincentennial” three times fast (try this with your students!).
Challenge, Part II: After two full school years, schools/districts in 13 states have joined The Grateful Nation Project! We’d like to make that 50! Be the first school or school district in your state to sign up for 50 or more students, and your first 50 Hero Cards will be sent to you at no cost!
Students at these schools have been introduced to TRUE Heroes who gave “the last full measure of devotion” for our freedom:
