Muir School's theme this year is "Civic Duty". Muir students will look at what people can do to make a positive difference in the classroom, at school, in the community, and in the world. At Muir we believe that each person can make difference and that each small step is important. Muir's entry to GlobalSchoolnet this year will be in Category 1, Local Leaders.
"Civic" is "having to do with a city or the people who live there" according to the Wiktionary. Do you have a better definition or source?
