West Gordon Student Council Visits the State Capitol

West Gordon Student Council serves as a democratic way for students to have a voice in their school and give back to the school and community.  The council consist of students, elected by classmates, to represents the views and ideas of their class. Recently, these students visited the Georgia State Capitol to observe where our leaders work diligently to represent the people of our district. Senator Tim Golden greeted the council, on the Senate floor, and discussed the democratic process, citizenship, leadership, and the value of public service.  He shared with the students decisions that he has made in the best interest of South Georgia and allowed the students to ask questions concerning our state government. 

The West Gordon Student Council, along with their advisors Mrs. Karen May and Miss Elizabeth Raque, would like to thank Senator Tim Golden and his secretary Carmen Alexander for their time and help in making this field trip a memorable experience.  We would also like to thank the Valdosta Board of Education for approving the trip.
