On Wednesday, we passed HB 5304 in the House, which includes an amendment creating a working group to study changing the state insect from the praying mantis to the meadowhawk dragonfly. Part of this working group will be made up by students from Center Road School, including those students who worked to introduce this measure.
I was proud of these students for getting involved in the political process, and teaching our kids about how to participate in their democracy is of such critical importance.
