“Today, I was almost brought to tears (of joy) with NH Institute for Civics Education’s Civics 603 program. It was just a wonderful day. To top it off, I just got this text message from a student who asked me to send him pictures: “Thank you so much for this opportunity. It was a lot of fun and an amazing experience.” Thank you everyone!”
