Keizer named for Boys, Einbeck named as alternate
MONROE - The 2012 American Legion Badger Boys State delegate and alternate from Monroe High School have been selected.
American Legion Zilmer Riley Post No. 84 will sponsor Jesse Keizer, son of Al and Janel Keizer, as this year's delegate. Alex Einbeck, son of Bradley and Kim Einbeck, will serve as the alternate.
Badger Boy's State is a week-long program for young men that takes place every year in June on the campus of Ripon College. Young men from all over Wisconsin participate in activities that explore how state and local governments work by creating their own community on the college campus. Activities that demonstrate how governments work include elections, creating and passing legislation, law enforcement and judicial proceedings.
To be eligible for Badger Boys State, a young man must be in his junior year in a Wisconsin high school; be among the top third of his class; have demonstrated leadership; and be sponsored by a local civic organization. Both Keizer and Einbeck were selected from an eligible group of their peers by the high school faculty.
Dombkowski, Coffey named for girls
MONROE - Monroe High School recently announced Shelby Coffey, daughter of Laurence and Vicki Coffey, and Claire Dombkowski, daughter of Angie and Mark Dombkowski as the 2012 American Legion Auxiliary Badger Girls State delegates.
This year, Monroe American Legion Zilmer Riley Auxiliary Post No. 84 is sponsoring two delegates. Badger Girls State is held each year in June on the campus of University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh.
The purpose of the program is to develop leadership and citizenship, create an understanding of American traditions and inspire an interest in the governmental process. Participants "learn by doing," as they become the fifty-first state, creating the various levels and branches of government throughout the week.
To be eligible for Badger Girls State, girls must be in their junior year in a Wisconsin high school, be ranked in the top half of their class, have an interest in government and citizenship, have demonstrated leadership, good moral character, and be physically fit. Local American Legion Auxiliaries and high school educators work together to interview and select the most eligible candidates.
