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
