Annual Student Government Day

Annual Student Government Day Held in Frankfort With Hickory Creek Middle School Students

Seventh and eighth grade students from Hickory Creek Middle School demonstrated true leadership skills on Monday, April 28 as they participated in the Village of Frankfort’s annual Student Government Day. The full day of activities began with an overview of the Village at the Village Administration Office, followed by visits to the fire department, police station, a water treatment plant, Prairie Park and the public works maintenance garage. During a luncheon, the students were able to talk with their Village counterparts about their Village responsibilities and issues of concern. The day concluded with a “mock” Village Board meeting with all student government representatives in their appropriate role.

“Meeting with the future leaders of our community is always a pleasure for our entire Village Board and staff members. The questions asked are well thought out, and their enthusiasm to learn more about Village government and its activities was evident throughout the day”, commented Mayor Jim Holland.
