ON THE GROUND UPDATE: Wyoming Charter School Students Spend a Day at State Capitol
On February 15, an inspiring group of students from Laramie Montessori Charter School and Snowy Range Academy in Wyoming joined the National Alliance's Lisa Grover and met with Governor Mark Gordon.
They were there on a mission — to show love for charter schools in Wyoming! Including students in important conversations that directly impact their futures is smart and shows students how speaking up can make a real difference.
