KENDALL – Five students from Orleans County departed on Saturday morning to attend the annual American Legion Boys’ State program held at SUNY Morrisville.
A week-long activity, the American Legion Boys’ State program immerses high school youth (currently completing their junior year) in citizenship and leadership training. While attending the program, students will learn the practical aspects of government as it exists in New York State, and come to recognize that the individual is integral to the character and success of government.
They also participate in physical fitness, team work and other activities under the guidance of American Legion counselors and U.S. Marines.
This year’s participants from Orleans County are: Ryker Knight and Tyler Moore from Holley; Jonathan Conte and Noah Morehouse from Kendall; and Nathan Woodworth from Lyndonville.
