You are Alaska's Children.
We bequeath to you a state that will be glorious in her achievements,
a homeland filled with opportunities for living, a land where you can
worship and pray, a country where ambitions will be bright and real, an
Alaska that will grow with you as you grow. We trust you; you are our
future. We ask you to take tomorrow and dream; we know that you will see
visions we do not see. We are certain that in capturing today for you,
you can plan and build. Take our constitution and study it, work with
it in your classrooms, understand its meaning and the facts within it.
Help others to love and appreciate it. You are Alaska's chidren...
