Metlakatla High School Student Government participated in the Spring Conference of the Alaska Association of Student Governments (AASG) in Sitka last weekend. They had a wonderful time, and one of our students received an award for her excellent resolution! AASG conferences bring students from all over the state of Alaska together to discuss issues important to Alaskan students. Delegations bring "resolutions" - formal policy proposals - to the conference to be debated and voted on by all delegations at the conference. AASG conferences are entirely student-run: all of the leadership positions are filled by students, all of the resolutions are written by students, and all matters of procedure are handled by elected student leaders. Two of our students - Gabrielle S. and Reese T. - brought resolutions to the conference concerning environmental protection and health education, respectively. Both resolutions were passed by the Conference, and will now be sent to the Alaska Legislature for consideration. Additionally, Gabrielle's resolution was awarded "Resolution of the Conference" by the Executive Board! At the end of the conference, the Metlakatla High School Student Government organized a beach fire with the Student Governments of Ketchikan High School and Kotzebue High School at the Mosquito Cove campsite. Student Government would like to thank the conference hosts - Freddie Charbonneau and Jack Davis - for organizing a fantastic event, and also providing opportunities for our students to explore Sitka! 📸: Owen Fulton #metlakatlahighschool #AASG #wayiwah #metlakatla #alaska #studentgovernment
