Bayside Students Participate in Youth Legislature

Youth Legislature is Alabama's premiere Mock Government conference. Students from across the state come together to debate legislation, argue appellate cases to the Supreme Court, lobby for and against bills, and cover the politics of the day through the media.   

 

In the first–year chamber, Bayside had nine students participate with freshmen Farrah Lane, Anna Flynn Hughes, and Tbug Baker winning Outstanding Delegate awards and freshman Lee Ginger having the first bill passed for a Bayside Delegation. Junior Jacob Stallworth served as a Justice on the Supreme Court hearing and deliberating on the constitutionally of student bills. Finally, junior Abby Schoensiegel won recognition as a leading member of the Senate and was selected as an alternate delegate to the Youth Conference on National Affairs this summer in North Carolina. 

 

Finally, all thirteen Bayside students (freshmen Tbug Baker, Ava Bindon, Nate Bullock, Lee Ginger, Anna Flynn Hughes, Farrah Lane, Cruz McMurry, Dori Small, Penny Snell; sophomore Colt Hancock; and juniors Montgomery Beall, Abby Schoensiegel, and Jacob Stallworth) showed great poise and courage in debate, and, more importantly, did an excellent job of representing Bayside as a delegation through their kindness and respect for others.
