Green City Council recognizes student municipal representatives, highlights civic engagement
Summary
The council hosted a senior recognition for the Class of 2026 student municipal representatives, heard student reflections on field trips and civic learning, and presented certificates and photos of each participating student.
The Green City Council paused regular business on April 28 to honor the Class of 2026 student municipal representatives. The mayor welcomed students and parents, thanked staff members (including Nicole Messer and Sarah Herring) for organizing the program, and showed a short film summarizing the students’ activities.
Multiple student representatives spoke about the program’s benefits: field trips (including visits to the fire station and a jail), meetings with the mayor and council members, and hands‑on experience on planning, zoning and volunteer events. Students said the program helped them understand local government operations, offered public‑speaking practice, and connected them to community volunteer opportunities.
The council presented the Class of 2026 student municipal representatives by name for a photo opportunity and a reception. The list of recognized students read by the presenter included Noor Abu Dawla, Avery, Addison Dizon, Libby Hubert, Maisie Johnson (absent), Mia Carras, Alex Lopez, Avery Masco, Sofia Mayottevic, Sadie Miller, Olivia Musee (absent), Celia Otterstatter, Jack Pickett, Ava Scott and Kira Seffakul (attending Navy swearing‑in).
