Girls State deadline is approaching

March 15 is the deadline for female students to apply for the American Legion Auxiliary Department of Wyoming Girls State program, which takes place June 8 through June 15, in Powell.

The Girls State program is a week-long session where students can learn about Wyoming government at the city, county and state levels.

Students who apply must be a junior in high school and attend school in Wyoming.

Eligibility includes being selected as a delegate and sponsored by an American Legion Auxiliary Department of Wyoming unit. Students who are home-schooled can apply as long as their curriculum is approved by the local school district and they are classified as a member of the junior class.

For more information about Girls State, contact the American Legion Unit 54 at 307-326-9600 or call the Girls State chairman, Diane Gailbreth at 307-259-3937.
