Students from several area high schools participated in Firelands Electric’s recent Cooperative Youth Day at the Ohio Statehouse. Among the participants were senior Chloe Hazelwood and freshman Tristan Schlachter, who represented St. Paul High School.
Chloe, Tristan and other participants had the opportunity to witness state government in action, tour the Ohio Statehouse, and meet with legislators from both the House of Representatives and Senate.
Throughout the day, they met with state representatives Kellie Deeter, Sharon Ray, and Gary Click. Staffers from the office of Senator Theresa Gavarone reviewed internship opportunities at the Statehouse, while representatives from Ohio’s Electric Cooperatives spoke about the role of government in the daily operations of an electric cooperative.
