VERGENNES — Five Vergennes Union High School students have been selected to attend Vermont Girls’ State, June 16-June 20, at Vermont Technical College in Randolph.
Emily Brinkman, Adelaide Brooks and Emily Rooney are being sponsored by the Vergennes American Legion Auxiliary Unit 14. Kaleigh Campbell and Hannah Wyman are being sponsored by another Auxiliary Unit in the State.
The purpose of Girls’ State is to provide citizenship training for girls of high school age; to afford them an opportunity to live together as self-governing citizens; and to inform them about the duties, privileges, rights and responsibilities of American citizenship, in order that they may understand and participate in the functioning of their government.
