• Select a person influential in American history. Go to your local library to research about that person. Create a picture collage with informational tidbits and ask your teacher or librarian to display your project.

• Make a poster (8×11 piece of paper or bigger) of the first 10 amendments. Consider why the amendments are important. If you could create your own amendment what would it be and add this amendment to your poster.

Updates:

Juniors have had success with Raffling special cakes at special events at the Grange, so this will be a normal raffle at special bingo events. Also, Juniors have created a fundraiser to help raise funds for the National Junior Grange and The Beach Community Junior Grange fund to continue to help with community service projects.
