MONROE - The American Legion Auxiliary Post #84 announced it will sponsor 2013 Badger Girls State delegates Ellyn Grossen and Maria Fernanda Larraga-Martinez.
Grossen is the daughter of Dale and Gail Grossen and Larraga-Martinez is daughter of Hector and Faviola Larraga.
Kristen Cannova, daughter of Barry and Laurie Cannova, will serve as the alternate.
Badger Girls State is held every June on the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh campus. The purpose of the program for young women 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 a the fifty-first state, creating the various levels 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.
The local American Legion Auxiliary and high school educators work together to interview and select the most eligible candidates.
