Florida City Government Week
|
Schools, Let's Celebrate!
October 19 - 25, 2008
Florida City Government Week is a very special time to recognize the important role played by city government in our lives. Most importantly, this week is a time to spread the word to all citizens of Florida that they are an integral part of the government that is closest to the people.
This year’s Florida City Government Week packet includes numerous ideas for celebrating this special week.
One of the suggestions is a series of lessons titled, My City: I’m Part of It, I’m Proud of It!. The lesson booklet provides city staff and teachers with one week of lessons and activities about city government. Another resource is the ABCs of City Governments - an educational supplement for elementary teachers, grades 2 - 5. Hard copies of both booklets are available by contacting the Public Relations Division.

For those cities and schools who choose not to use the My City lessons or ABCs booklet, a list of other suggested ideas is available. We encourage you to celebrate this important week in some way. However, you can use the lessons anytime during the year. It’s a great city-school partnership program. The Public Relations Division can assist you in coordination efforts with your city officials.
In planning your school’s celebration of Florida City Government Week, or if you use the My City lessons at any time, be sure to keep the League informed. League staff is available to answer questions and to offer recommendations about activities. Please send copies of photos, public relations materials and information on your activities to the Public Relations Division, Florida League of Cities, P.O. Box 1757, Tallahassee, FL 32302-1757, as these ideas may be used in future League publications. They may also be compiled and shared for future celebrations. A summary sheet is included to assist you in reporting on your school’s activities.
