Auxiliary taking applications
The American Legion Auxiliary Unit 323 are accepting applications from students interested in attending Florida Girls State.
It is open to juniors at Lehigh Senior High School and East Lee County High School who will be seniors in the fall of 2016.
Florida Girls State is a hands-on weeklong educational workshop, focusing on Americanism and political process.
The goal is to help students better understand democratic ideals and the part individuals play in carrying out those ideals.
Participants become citizens of and participate in creating a mythical state of Seminole. The state is divided into 12 cities, six counties and the citizens, assigned to either the Nationalist or Federalist Party.
As the government begins to take shape, the participants come to understand their roles in a democratic society.
There are eligibility requirements and a selection process to become a Girls State delegate.
Lehigh High students can contact their counselor; East Lee students can contact George Becker or Sgt. William Roseberry.
Applications due by Jan. 4.
