Some people live in big cities. Some live in small cities or towns. The nearest neighbors of some people live miles away on a farm, and some, in an apartment right next door. Wherever you live, the buildings and homes around you and the people who live, work, and play near you are called your community.
It is important to learn about your community. Communities are stronger when the people who live in them take care of them and are good neighbors to each other. As you learn more about your community, you will be more proud of it and become a better citizen.
