Senator Angela Giron chose Highland Park as the one school in her district that will have the opportunity to participate in the “Girls With Goals Day” 2012. Congratulations to 5th grader Kristyna Arguello for being chosen as our outstanding fifth grade girl! Kristyna will shadow Senator Giron for the morning, have lunch with the Senator, tour the State Capitol, and participate in interactive activities to help her learn how to make her community a better place. In addition, Kristyna will attend a mock session with “bills” the girls will propose themselves.
