Greetings from Valley Lutheran High School. My name
is Bob Koehne and as the Principal would like to share a little with
you about Valley Lutheran and some of the news and accomplishments at
the school.
Every
spring high schools from all around the state select 2 boys to represent
their school at “Boy’s State” which is a week-long government
simulation. This past spring Jimmy Arwood was selected as one of
Valley’s representatives. While at Boy’s State Jimmy worked hard on an
energy bill which he was able to get passed through the legislature.
Jimmy also ran for and was elected Governor which is the highest
position at Boy’s State. He was then selected by his peers to go before a
review committee and was selected by the committee to be one of two
people representing Arizona at Boy’s Nation. Jimmy spent a week in
Washington DC with students from around the country. He was able to get a
reworked energy bill passed through the Boy’s Nation congress as well.
Jimmy said, “It was an enlightening and life changing experience to be
around the other students and meet with members of Congress in
Washington. It was an honor to represent the great state of Arizona.”
Jimmy is the student body president at Valley along with playing varsity
baseball and basketball, singing in the choir and is a member of the
life leader program.
Below is a link to a local article about Jimmy’s experience.
