ALA Girls State citizens are known for their leadership,
intelligence, and energy. 2018 is no exception, with each town exhibiting more
than their fair share of enthusiasm. Here, we chronicle each of the four towns,
including the decorations, the people, and most importantly, the spirit. Quotes
have been lightly edited for clarity.
“I love my town because we really try to work together. We
try to spread positive vibes, work together as a team, build each other up, and
support each other. We just want to be ourselves and have a good time.” -Ava,
Berrio
“We have a really good balance of opinions. We do a good job
making sure everyone is heard. We have an amazing, inclusive spirit; everyone
is involved and there are no cliques. We mesh together as one, which I think is
really unique.” -Mary, Kleepsies
“Our town is more like family. We’re super close. The best
part is how we communicate with each other and how open we are about our
personal feelings.” -Liz, Norton
“The spirit of ALA Girls State is civic duty, engagement,
patriotism, and friendship.” -May, Blue shirt
The research shows that no matter what town you’re a part
of, you’re having fun because you’re at the ALA Girls’ State. A special thanks
goes out to Sarah Butson, who is leaving us as director this year. We look
forward to seeing her accomplish great things. Remember: each town is a model
town, and you can always find home at ALA Girls State.
