On March 2, 2005, a group of Mock Election and “We the People” students witnessed the highest court in the land deliberate on the constitutionality of displaying the Ten Commandments outside government institutions.

Mr. Matt McGuire, co-sponsor of Youth Policy Forum/Mock Election, accompanied the MLWGS students to Washington D.C. to hear the Supreme Court debate on Van Ordan v. Perry and McCreary County v. ACLU of Kentucky. The students also had the opportunity to visit Senator Allen’s office to talk about the 2004 elections.

Way to go, Jason. Say, is this too long?

Middle school students at the International Language Festival enjoyed music, games, food, fun and prizes Saturday, March 5 in the commons. With a five-dollar registration fee, the event, sponsored by Mrs. Barrett Brown, was open to all middle school students in participating counties.

The festival, featuring almost every level of foreign language offered, was an opportunity for prospective students to experience our school and the diverse opportunities that it offers.
