Edmonson Voice Staff Report:
Twenty-nine students from Edmonson County Middle School attended YMCA’s flagship program, Kentucky Youth Assembly, in Louisville December 9th-11th at the state capitol in Frankfort. This program allowed students to participate in a mock legislative process which included writing a bill, presenting the bill to a student-led house of representatives, a student-led senate, and an elected governor if passed in both the house and the senate.  ​
