Five area students will be heading to Washington D.C. this June as part of Nolin RECC’s Washington Youth Tour.
Central Hardin High School students Heaven Carpenter and Regan Raifsnider, Elizabethtown High School students Grant Shearer and Anna sumrall, and homeschool student Samuel Teipen will receive an all-expenses paid trip to the nation’s capital that will include visits to sites such as the Smithsonian Institute, Arlington National Cemetery, the U.S. Capitol, and the National Zzoo, and a visit with Kentucky’s congressional delegation.
“Nolin RECC is proud that these students will be representing our service area,” said Nolin RECC Communications Manager Sarah Fellows. “They join over 1000 other students from cooperatives around the country traveling to Washington for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
The selected students are high school juniors whose parents receive services from Nolin RECC and were selected based on review of a submitted essay, an in-person interview, and their knowledge of electric co-ops like Nolin.
