Kellsie's Senate Trip

Kellsie's teacher this year is really involved with Animals. In fact that is the reason I asked for Kellsie to be placed in her class. Kellsie lives for animals (drives me crazy, but what are you going to do).

Her teacher and one other teacher at the school signed their kids up for Wile Life Friends. They send them news letters about the things that are going on with New Mexico's wild life.

In January both classes got to go up to Sante Fe to the Senate and take a tour of where a new bill was up for vote on wild life corridors. Kellsie along with a couple other's were asked to talk to the Wild Life people (who were at the Senate) about how they felt about the bill.

The kids did so well that they asked 2 of the girls and 2 of the boys to come up in Feb and testify in front of the Senate on the bill.

Kellsie was one of them. The pics are out of order, but you get the idea.

Here is Kellsie and the other three kids with someone who is important, I just don't know his name.

Here is the train that the 2 teachers, 4 kids and Jeff took up to Sante Fe

Here are the kids with 2 of the wild life people.

They had lawyers come down twice to talk to the kids and help them with their speeches. Here is Kellsie working on hers. I wasn't able to go up to Sante FE, but Jeff said she did a great job. We are so proud of her and her love for Animals.
