Nine students from Wayland High School last week attend the Michigan Youth in Government Conference in Lansing.
Students spent four days participating in a mock state government, in which students took on the roles of legislators and lobbyists, and had two students participate in the National Issues Forum. In preparation for the conference, students each write a bill or policy, and work to get it passed at the conference.
Piper Huston, Teagan Robinson and Callie Conley had their bills passed and signed by the student governor.
The nine WHS participants were Alicia (Wren) Schumaker-Alanzo, Bella Bogema, Hannah Bogema, Callie Conley, Adaline Huston, Piper Huston, Ethyn Riley, Teagan Robinson, Jacob VanDuine and Payton Wallace.
