“Capitol Day was both a really fun and educational experience. The Capitol was outstanding and it was interesting to know about certain architecture and paintings. Along with that meeting, some of our state representatives and senate was a very special experience. We got to learn about the paths they took, the decisions they made, and we got to talk about our own school experience as well. This trip was really fun and connecting with other FCCLA members as well made it amazing.” -Kaylene Patschke
