"No republic can maintain itself without education, to enable every man to judge for himself what will secure or endanger his freedom."   ~ Thomas Jefferson

Welcome to Mrs Lieske's
8th Grade American Studies website!

MY COMMITMENT TO
MY STUDENTS. . .
  In a few short years you will be old enough to vote ~  
I want to help you learn the basics about U.S. government so you will feel empowered as a citizen.

You are a member of the American "family" ~
I want to help you learn the basics about that family's background
and to be proud of your American heritage.

You are one brief year away from high school ~
I want to help you continue to develop the skills and discipline
needed to be successful in high school and beyond.

I am dedicated to the development of young citizen-scholars!
