The resolution, SR 3372, congratulates and recognizes the students and faculty of Thompson Middle School for their participation in the annual Rhode Island Civics Day held on May 22, 2026. This event, organized by Generation Citizen New England, brought together nearly 200 middle and high school students to engage in community problem-solving and showcase their civics projects at the Rhode Island State House. Notably, this was Thompson Middle School's first year participating, and under the guidance of teacher Tara Mello, the students excelled in experiential civics education, meeting the state's civic literacy proficiency requirements.

Thompson Middle School's impressive debut was marked by a student team winning the prestigious Top Middle School Award for their project titled "Turning an Empty Space into a Community Place." Other projects presented included initiatives focused on substance abuse programs, student council creation, and improving school lunches. The resolution expresses congratulations to the students and their teacher for their efforts and achievements during the Civics Day, and it directs the Secretary of State to transmit a certified copy of the resolution to Tara Mello and the school's principal.
