Schools now have until November 15 to register a team for the Civics Games.
The Civics Games is a competition being held by the Wisconsin Newspaper Association Foundation to foster citizenship education among young people.
Winners of the games each receive a $2,000 scholarship to the Wisconsin college or university of his/her choice.
Schools conduct their own competition in February or March and send their winning team to regional competitions at the University of Wisconsin’s campuses across the state on April 24, 2020. Finals will be held at the state Capitol in Madison on May 15, 2020.
