The federal government invests $0.50/student/year on civics…compared to $50.00/student/year on STEM education (iCivics). Think about it. No matter what field a student is interested in or their future career, they need to be citizens! #icivics

Attention class, say it together:
“App-uh-latch-uh”
In English, we use a short vow sound after double consonants. In “Appalachia” the 3rd A is followed by a CH, which make it short. The word is also of Spanish origins so the long A sound is made by an E, not an A.
