Dad took H and B to TeenPact this year. They go to the Capital for a day of learning about the legislative process and being involved in politics.
Each student writes a bill before the class. During TeenPact each bill is presented, debated, goes to comittee, etc. like a "real bill" would do "for real".
B's bill was that every restaurant in NC would serve soft serve ice cream for free with all meals. His bill passed with one amendment. Slushees had to be offered as well for those who were lactose intolerant.
H's bill was that every family in NC would serve one hour of community service each month. Her bill passed with one amendment. Those who are physically unable to serve are exempt.
Note: These are not "real bills". Jason's*Deli is the place to go for soft serve ice cream! Unfortunately, too few families do community service together each month.
Mom's handsome guys and pretty girl headed to the Capital. (Mama's pretty girl is wearing Mama's sandals. Where has the time gone!?)
"Look out Capital! Ready or not, here he comes!"
