Members of the WALA STARS Leadership team, Kavin and Wendy S, are in the forefront of statewide student leadership in the alternative education world. Together with Lacey, Morgan, Chelsea, Wendy Q, Amy, and Teacher Darlene, they were joined by students and staff from alternative programs in Sequim, Port Orchard, Silverdale, Tacoma, and Lacey in Olympia on February 2, 2007 as part of the state Alternative Education Day.
ICE students met with Governor Chris Gregoire, Education Chair Senator Rosemary McAuliffe, our District 24 Representatives Lynn Kessler and Kevin Van deWege, and Senator Jim Hargrove.
House -- Senate
Students had the opportunity to see the Senate in action, stand on the floor of the House of Representatives, and tour the Capitol Building. We also visited historical monuments on the capitol campus, and visited the Justice Building to learn about the history of laws, read parts of the Port Townsend Municipal Code, and see the courtroom for the State Supreme Court.
