From Mr. Barnes for Sophomore/Junior Boys:

I have received information on this year's American Legion Boys State of Kansas.  It is a week-long government simulation and leadership camp at KSU from June 4th through June 10th.  It is a great resume builder, looks good on scholarships, and - as someone who attended as both a delegate and a counselor - it’s an impactful week.  If you’re interested, please let me know either in person or by email:  

jon.barnes@usd234.org
