The Blair County Bar Association is joining organizations across the state and country in celebrating Constitution Day. Celebrating Constitution Day gives students an opportunity to learn about the United States and Pennsylvania constitutions through fun and informative learning activities.

It makes civic learning inviting and entertaining for students of all ages.
