North Nodaway students Emma Hart, Kristin Herndon and Keagan O’Riley returned from separate trips to Washington (DC) this month.
Keagan O’Riley went to DC from the 8th to the 14th for an energy conference that United Electric was part of after putting together a award-winning video on energy conservation at the state level. Her video was one of the top six nationally; the top six were interviewed by judges, who tested her on her knowledge. She got to meet Congressman Sam Graves and take a tour of DC. She got to see the Korean Memorial, the Vietnam Memorial, the Washington Memorial, and the World War II Memorial. She also got her picture taken in front of the White House and got to tour the Capitol.
Emma Hart and Kristin Herndon went to DC from June 18th to 24th as part of the FFA Washington Leadership Conference. They had one large session of 340 students and then broke into pods of 25-30 students for the remainder of the conference. Emma said she made friends with many of them, and she focused on student involvement in school and getting ideas for getting younger students involved. She said she plans to try some of those ideas out at North Nodaway this fall.
Emma said she met students from all over the US, including five from Georgia, six from Oklahoma, two from Wisconsin, and one from Ohio.
