Girls State is a weeklong, hands-on government in action program, held annually at Florida State University and the Florida Capitol. These students will join 300 Girl Staters from through-out the State in Tallahassee for 1 week this June. They will attend this unique government experience, which will include debating bills and passing laws in the House of Representatives and Senate while the Florida legislature is in recess. The Girl Staters will also conduct a mock trial in the Florida Supreme Court. Girl State is an all expense paid program open to 11th grade girls from the Jupiter/Tequesta area. For more information on this program, contact Girls State Chairman Grace Grenfell at 746-0166.
