We went to Legislative Day on Tuesday, February 18th and we got back on Wednesday the 19th. Three students--Marshall, Levy and Kitra--left Tuesday after school, and we made our way to Minneapolis. Since we didn’t have any plans for the first night, we went to the Mall of America and walked around.
We went to Jenkins Community School and stayed the night there. We talked for a little bit then went to bed because we had to get up early. When we woke up, we ate some breakfast and got ready for the day. We left the school at about 8-8:30 in the morning. We headed to the House of Representatives to have a small get together with other MAAP STARS. After the meeting, we had another meeting with Representative John Poston. We talked with him about ourselves and why we chose Pillager Area Charter School, then Greg talked about what he liked and offered a proposal to Representative Poston. We had a good fifteen minutes before our next meeting with Senator Gazelka. We had to speed walk through the tunnels into the Senate House. We shared the same things with him that we had with Represetnative Poston. The only thing I would change if we went back is to have more time with both of them. It was a lot of fun. I believe everyone who went on this trip would love to go again. It was a new experience, and we felt our voices were heard. I know I would go again if I had the chance. By: Levy Ktytor

Greg's Project- They are doing welding. First they had to watch a safety video after learning the safety precautions. Then they made a poster of a safety precaution they learned.
They are currently making name plates. The next thing they are going to be working on is a cube, and the big project will be a snowmobile stand. At the end of this project they want to have a small shop to offer welding for the community. Chad’s Project Update- The students currently have the shape for the pizza oven. Now they have to place the cast over with a mixture of concrete and vermiculite. This will eventually be used to bake pizzas.
Czech‘s Project Update- The first assignment they did was pick ten places they wanted to visit. Now they are getting ready to start travel agent client scenarios. They are going to prepare a trip for “clients” who had certain requests. |
