Students from THS visited the Tonganoxie Historical Society today. Students learned about the Declaration of Independence and how it has shaped our country over the last 250 years. Students discussed the importance of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all people. Thank you to the volunteers of our historical society who were incredible hosts to our students and do an amazing job preserving the history of Tonganoxie!
