Nineteen students from Edmonson County Middle School attended YMCA’s flagship program, Kentucky Youth Assembly, in Louisville November 9th-11th.  This program allows students to participate in a mock legislative process which includes 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.  ECMS students presented two bills for debate at this year’s conference.  

The first team consisted of: Lainey Alexander, Danyale Atwell, Hallie Cassady, and Caroline Parsley.  This team passed by vote in one chamber, by acclamation (without any opposition) in the other, and was signed by the student governor.  

​The second team consisted of Josi Morrison, Maham Shahbaz, and Paige Wolfe.  Their bill was ranked highly on the opening day, but passed by vote only in the first chamber.  Both teams worked hard and started preparation in September.
