            Here, GHS’ Eliza Potter signs up to be a legislative page, as Senator Tom Pischke signs her application form. Senator Pischke also talked to both government classes about political issues of the day, mostly fielding tough questions from GHS students on the many upcoming ballot measures. Regular readers will recall that Potter was also recently elected to the Youth Advisory Council with classmate Kaitlyn Steinhoff for the City of Garretson. Potter also participated in Sioux Valley Energy Teens EmPOWER youth leadership program, sending teens to Washington DC this past summer.
