On Wednesday March 19h, senior AP Government students had the opportunity to attend a meeting with advocate DeAnn Lee. Mrs. Lee is an advocate member of the program Raise Your Hand Texas, which is a program that speaks about change and importance in education from public schools. She came to speak to our Corsicana students, on how their opinion and involvement in legislature meetings and decisions are important. She spoke on different methods for students to voice their opinion and the ways to get in contact with your legislature or representative. She also encouraged students to build a connection with their official representatives. Mrs. Lee was kind enough to answer any questions with complete enthusiasm, whether it be on how to communicate or how these meetings are run in the Capitol of Austin. This meeting also served a second purpose for our students. Based on their participation and depth of their questions, they were selected to be able to attend a trip to the Austin Capitol, where they will be able to get a tour, attend a meeting, and meet with officials. We thank Mrs. Lee for coming to visit Corsicana and our students!
