Grauer School Sends Student Delegation to Sacramento

Encinitas, CA (I-Newswire) April 5, 2011 - Encinitas, CA----Grauer School students traveled with the Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA’s Youth and Government delegation to Sacramento in mid-February, accompanied by faculty member Jessi Young. Joined by over 2,200 other high school students, the Grauer faction ran a model government for five days and earned Premier Delegation status. The students descended upon the Supreme Court chambers, the county courthouse and the state capitol and began engaging in a wide range of activities from reporter to attorney and from lobbyist to senator.

According to teacher Jessi Young of The Grauer School Center for International Education, “This year marks the 15th anniversary of involvement in the Youth and Government program and it was by far one of the best conferences I’ve experienced. Mia Sewell and Mathew Higgins were chosen to be Secretariats for the middle school Model United Nations program, and Mia was selected as one of only a select group of students from the state to represent California at the Conference on National Affairs this summer in North Carolina. I’m very proud of all our students who participated in this years’ event.”

Grauer students adopted a variety of roles during the conference: Maddy Swoy worked as a governor’s lobbyist, speaking for bills that the youth governor deemed a priority; Mia sponsored a bill and caused it to be passed through both houses; Alaria Diperna performed as a writer who won an award for excellence in online media; Forrest Gitlin presented a proposal to the National Issue Commission; Luke Ashworth acted a lobbyist who also wrote and passed and original initiative and Mathew Higgins was an attorney in an upper-tier court that won both his charges.

The Grauer School is an independent grades 6-12 college preparatory day school; its students commit several thousand hours to humanitarian and ecological service annually, locally and globally. The School, now celebrating its 20th year in San Diego’s North County, is the only UNESCO associated institution in the southern California region.
