Today is the 222nd anniversary of Delaware’s ratification of our federal Constitution, the first state in the young country to do so. Since 1933, the Governors of our First State have proclaimed this day to be Delaware Day to celebrate our Firstness.
In honor of the occasion, for the 8th straight year, fourth grades around the state are participating in a class project competition, the winners of which were to be announced on Saturday at a program honoring the recipients of the Signers’ Awards, with photos of the winning submissions shown on the Delaware Day website starting at some point today.
