Last week. 36 草榴社区students joined 12 other Orange county schools for a Youth in Government convention. Students researched and wrote policies in advance for this convention.

Divided into six committees, 草榴社区won the top policy in the Economic, State, and Social Committees. Additionally, 草榴社区took 2nd in the Environmental committee.

Policies that 草榴社区presented included: reducing gender inequality, composting in schools, inflation reduction, increasing wellness checks on student athletes, nationwide reduction in taxes on feminine hygiene products, and student loan forgiveness. NFA  students were also elected chair and secretary for three of the committees.
