Girls State is a nationally recognized program where girls are selected to attend based on their interest in government, character, and scholarship. The program is run by the American Legion Auxiliary. Girls selected will attend a one week conference at Mt. Union College from June 10-June 16. Buckeye Girls State is designed to give girls first-hand knowledge about the workings of local and state government. They will be assigned to a political party and run a mock government. This program is intended to mold young women into America's leaders of tomorrow.

SPIRITUAL REFLECTION

"Lord, during these last remaining days of Lent, give us the courage to abandon what is familiar and comfortable so that we can take risks that will promote growth and change. Give us the strength to walk the Christian path, and to see all things through the eyes of your endless love. Amen."
