In less than two weeks, Liberal’s Grace Place Pregnancy Care Center will be hosting two events, and the first of those will be a teen rally taking place at 7 p.m. Monday, Sept. 15 in James Maskus Auditorium at Liberal High School.

Director Letty Hernandez said youth on hand will have a chance to win prizes, including a 40-inch TV and a Nintendo Switch in a raffle taking place at the rally. Youth age 12 and older are invited to the rally, which is free to attend.

Hernandez said those attending the rally will hear from motivational dynamic speaker Ryan Bomberger, who will also be speaking at Grace Place’s annual banquet the following night at 7 p.m. at the Seward County Ag Building.

Citizenship is a hot topic in many circles, and a local class aims to help with just that.

Seward County Community College will again be hosting citizenship classes for the fall semester. The daytime class will meet Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1 to 2:15 p.m. and will run from Sept. 9 through Nov. 18 (though there will be no class Oct. 14), for a total of 20 sessions. The evening class will meet Mondays from 6 to 8 p.m., and that will run from Sept. 8 though Dec. 1 (though there will be no class Oct. 13) for a total of 12 sessions. Classes for both of those sessions will be at the SCCC tech campus in Room T151, Sign-ups can be done in the SCCC Business & Industry Office on the SCCC tech campus, and people can call that office at (620) 417-1170 to get things started and register for the class, which is $130 per person for the whole semester. And for the first time, people can also sign up online, and a QR code is also available on the class flyer. The class will help students prepare to get their citizenship, and will feature U.S. history, U.S. government, the U.S. Constitution and other basic information they'll need to know about the U.S. to help the students pass their tests. Participants will also get some help on what to look for on the application and completing all of that paperwork and will also be guided through the USCIS interview process and how to prepare for that.
