What a great day to be a Rotarian! 65 Students attended this year Student Government day held at City Hall. Four High Schools attended this year-Benton, Central, Lafayette, and St Joe Christian. The day began with a visit to the Police station and then see the Sewer project/Drilling Tunnel. The student then returned to City Hall and worked in their various city departments getting ready for the mock City Council meeting at 12:30. Several Rotarians helped the students and served them a Hyvee Box Lunch. During the City Council meeting, students worked on 7 proposed ordinances-ranging from CIP tax to a law prohibiting using hand-held devices while driving. Each student received a Certificate and a 4-way test Rotary coin. We received great local coverage from the Newspress, KNPG, and KQ2. It was a great day and there was a lot of student engagement. Thank you to the City staff and several Council members who where able to attend. Can't wait till next year. Please check out the Photo Album-several pictures.
