Nevada Citizenship
Award
The Nevada Citizenship Award is intended to
encourage our fourth grade students to learn more about the state in
which they live. We hope that the interest shown and knowledge
gained by each student will indeed help them to be better Nevada
citizens. To earn this award each student must fulfill the
following requirements by May 1, 2007. We do not encourage
competition to complete this award. All students will be honored
equally at the end of the year.

The student may sing or say
both verses and the chorus of the state song. Only two errors or
help is allowed in order to
pass off the song.
2. State Facts and Symbols
Each student will be able to
correctly answer a series of questions about Nevada state facts
and symbols. All
answers are found in the first chapter of the Nevada book. Answers
