Constitution Quest - 2025

Monday, September 15, 2025  

On September 17, 2025 the U. S. Constitution turns 238 years old!  The Springfield Bar Foundation is marking the occasion with a launch of its new project "Constitution Quest."  The project was inspired by SMBA Past Presidents Debbie Dodge and Jarica Oeltjen and their special interest in increasing public understanding the legal system by speaking to the children in our community.

The project launch will reach 876 students in five area schools. Thank you to our sixteen volunteers:
