The QMS Youth in Government team wrapped up a busy few days in Lansing today. After a couple months of preparation, they represented QMS very well! David M. got his bill passed and signed into law by the High School Youth Governor. Along with that, Izzy B. and Neveah C. got BOTH of their dual-sponsored bills signed into law. As an additional highlight, Easton S. was recognized as Outstanding Senator. Perhaps the best achievement, however, was being recognized by numerous other advisors as "such a great group of kids." We couldn't have done this without our wonderful group of sponsors, which helped cover the additional cost for our students this year. Thank you and Go Q!
