Bluebonnet Girls State 2025
This year our club is again sponsoring 3 girls to attend the Bluebonnet Girls State program. They have just completed their junior year at John Paul II Catholic High School. The Girls State program will take place at Texas Lutheran University from 15 to 21 June.
On Saturday 10 May, the American Legion Auxiliary of Post 179 held a reception and orientation for all of the local girls selected to attend the Bluebonnet Girls State program and for their sponsors.
“The Girls State Program develops leadership in our young women, educates them on our system of government, instills a great sense of patriotism and Americanism, and stimulates a desire to maintain the democratic governmental processes within our republic. It also adds weight to a college application. Former Girls State Citizens have included Governor Ann Richards, Comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn, and Judge Bea Ann Smith.”
Girls State Chairman Sandi Schendel and Auxiliary President Mary Jane Repp presented our club with a certificate of appreciation and a letter to thank our club for sponsoring these three girls.
