2021-22 STUDENT ACHIEVEMENTS

Enviromental Club Lobbies At State Capitol

Funded by the 5Point Dream Project grant won by seniors Ellie Urfrig ‘22 and Willa Schendler ‘22, the CRMS Environmental Club traveled in April to lobby at the state Capitol. Fourteen students and faculty member Kayo Ogilby spent the morning learning about four environmental bills they would advocate for and then pulled senators off the floor to make their case for each bill. Club advisor Kayo Ogilby remarked, “It was AMAZING to see these students in action. Poised, brave (it was terrifying), articulate, compassionate. I have seldom been prouder and more inspired to be a part of this school.”
