The Village of Pinecrest was one of only six cities in the U.S. hosting this guest. The guest? A rare original print of the United States Declaration of Independence that is on a traveling tour.
The visit was made possible by the students at Palmetto Senior High School, who were top participants in mock elections held across the nation's schools. The mock elections were put together by organizations wanting to foster an appreciation of the democratic process in students throughout America.
The students at Palmetto Sr. High embraced the event and in the process earned themselves the opportunity to have the rare document come for a visit. Way to go Palmetto!
Over 1500 people, including Pinecrest Mayor Cindy Lerner and members of the Village Council, had the chance to see the document at the Pinecrest Branch Library. The document was also displayed at Palmetto Senior High School where hundreds of students were able to view it.
This is another fine example of the strong commitment of Pinecrest area educators. It's not without reason that the Pinecrest schools are tops in the county and beyond. Thank you teachers.
