Badger Stater 
Jordyn Mark, a senior at Plum City High School, attended Badger Girls State at UW-Oshkosh June 20 through 25. Mark was selected by high school educators based on her potential leadership qualities. Badger Girls State was organized as a national Americanism activity and the first session was held in Washington, D.C., in 1947 and can be thought of as a special state in which citizens learn city, county and state government procedures by conducting the elections and business of those governmental bodies. It is a “learning-by-doing” process in which fiction and reality become one.
