Glenwood Elementary Students
/“These four amazing Glenwood students absolutely blew me away with their courage, their compassion, and their advocacy. They came to the Legislature to use their voices and speak up for our planet, not only for the benefit of our community today – but for the benefit of our community’s future. I couldn’t be more proud and inspired by these young changemakers, and I can’t wait to watch them continue to make this world a better place.”
