Guest Commentary: Young pool-supporters are an encouraging example of civic involvement

Young Pool-Supporters at Veterans Day Assembly

I attended a Veterans Day assembly this month at my children’s school. The principal asked a poignant question to the students: "What does it mean to be a good citizen?" This question sparked reflections among both students and adults present.

Civic Engagement among Youth

It was inspiring to see young community members engage actively and thoughtfully. These young pool supporters exemplify the essence of civic involvement through their support and dedication to community causes, showing responsibility and awareness beyond their years.

Encouragement for Civic Participation

Their involvement provides an encouraging example for others. It highlights that civic engagement is not limited by age but rather driven by commitment and the willingness to participate in communal life.

"Being a good citizen means contributing to your community and supporting one another," was a sentiment echoed by many at the assembly.


The youth's engaged participation at the assembly is a hopeful sign of future civic responsibility and community care.
