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:
