Candidate Forum

These fine young men particpated in a candidate/student forum this evening. They asked questions to candidates running for school board and community college board of trustees. They are enjoying some snacks here before the forum begins.
JD attended the event but this BLUR is what he looked like the entire evening. He just wasn't much interested in the achievement gap or selection of a new superintendant. He did enjoy running down the aisle of the auditorium though.

The students asked some good questions that they wrote themselves.

They impressed the judges (local columnist John Kelso, a municipal court judge, and the sheriff) enough to win this really nice trophy. My students have participated in the forum for 16 years and this is the first time we've (I should say "THEY'VE" because I just sit there) won. GREAT JOB GUYS!
