American Legion Auxiliary No. 225 sponsors 2 students to attend Buckeye Girls State

Two seniors-to-be from Upper Sandusky High School will be among the 900 girls participating in the 66th annual session of Buckeye Girls State at the University of Mount Union. The session begins June 10 and concludes on June 16.
It is a fast-paced program of mock government at the state, county and city levels. The main objective of the Girls State program is to train young women, who have completed their junior year in senior high school in the duties, rights and privileges of citizenship by providing the attendees the opportunity to actively participate in a democratic form of government.
Local delegates to Girls State are Angela Massara and Desiree Young. Upper Sandusky American Legion Auxiliary No. 225 are sponsoring the girls. The alternates are Danielle Brodman and Alex Cameron.
As the girls arrive at Girls State, they are assigned to one of two political parties. The residence hall in which they live during the program is their designated county and the floor on which they live is their city. The students will file petitions for candidacy for a variety of offices from governor to city council and participate in the election process. After elections and inaugurations, they will put government in action.
