Samantha Turnquist and Breanna Schooley participated in the 2nd Annual Pro-Life Speech Contest hosted by McKenzie County Right to Life at Johnson Corners Christian Academy outside of Watford City on Saturday, May 1. This competition is recognized this year as the state competition. Twenty participants from 7-12 grade attended, some coming from as far as Fargo and Strasberg to give speeches. The girls amazingly represented Alexander School.
Breanna Schooley did final and took 6th place overall!
AHS has three seniors with legislation that passed the Youth Leadership Initiative's E-Congress. The YLI creates a mock national House of Representatives, where students research and write their own legislation. They then act as congressional committees and review and vote on bills from schools around the nation. The bills that pass the committee phase are sent to the House floor where all students nationwide vote to pass or fail each bill. This is a huge accomplishment! Congrats Ladies!
