Patriot Week is a week created by Michigan judge Michael Warren and his ten year old daughter to call attention to the founding principles of our great nation, and renew a sense of spirit and commitment to the American Dream and the Constitution.

With civic holidays becoming increasingly commercialized, the father-daughter duo felt a need to dedicate a week of focus to America’s First Principles, Founding Fathers and other patriots, and founding documents, speeches, and flags. The week is anchored by critical dates in American history, starting on September 11th (World Trade Center attacks) and ending on September 17th (anniversary of the signing of the Constitution).

Patriot Week is recognized by the Michigan House and Senate, and was recently recognized by the New York Senate. However, Patriot Week activities occur throughout the United States. Check out a schedule of public events for 2012 here.

Traditional public schools, private schools, and charter schools are using Patriot Week as an opportunity to educate students about America’s founding principles. In the coming weeks, the Patriot Week website will debut a free resource center for students, teachers, and parents that includes lesson plans and more. But the beauty of the week rests in designing a plan that fits for each school and student population, so don’t wait to join this important movement and critical component of United States history that shouldn’t be underscored to American students.
