    On July 25, students from both local schools gave reports to Shiner American Legion Post 201 members and guests on Boys and Girls State. Students are sponsored by the local Legion post. Boys and Girls State is a participatory program in which students become part of the operation of local, county, and state government. Participants learn the rights, privileges, and responsibilities of franchised citizens. The training is objective and centers on the structure of city, county, and state governments.
