Invitation extended to the Trenton Library

Jack will check to see if there is interest from staff of the Trenton Library. We hope that we can increase student participation and leadership in the planning. Looking for an initial April 2026 meeting. Students have indicated to Superintendent Menzter that they would like to play a crucial role in planning the event. I am going to see if one of the four students is willing to co-chair the event with me.
