“TeenPact is a legislative event where you debate bills, it’s like congress where you’re a senator for a week,” freshman Nolan Prock said. “You get to write a bill and debate why your bill should be passed and people can pass an amendment for your bill. My bill was about raising the age to purchase cigarettes to 25, it got passed and someone wrote an amendment on it. My cousin started TeenPact when she was 12 and I wasn’t interested until this year. I thought it was going to be boring but it was a lot of fun. At the contest we got to walk around the Capital of Oklahoma and meet lobbyists and learn about all the different branches of government. It’s really cool to meet like minded people there. There’s thousands of people and you can make more friends. It’s cool getting to see how involved everyone is.”

Hey guys! My name is Brenna Ware and I am the Eagle’s Tale newspaper associate editor. When I’m not somewhere in the 1300 hall you can probably find me playing my clarinet in the band hall. Outside of school, I am involved in 4-H where I am excited to serve as the District one third vice president. One fun fact about me is that my favorite animal is a peacock because of their pretty feathers. I am super excited to see what stories this year will hold. Oh, and I am the lead singer in “Crocodile Autonomy.”
