The juniors and seniors got up early at 5:00 to head to Pierre for a day of government fun. When we arrived, we sat in on committee meetings, met and had pictures taken with Gov Noem and Lt. Gov Rhoden. The WIT hosted a luncheon with representatives so they could speak to the students. The afternoon was spent sitting in the House and Senate sessions and capped off with a tour of the Governor's Mansion. The kids learned a lot and had a great time.
