On April 13th, Montgomery’s Downtown Optimist Club, in cooperation with the Britton YMCA, sponsored Youth in City as a part of Optimist International Youth Appreciation Week. Students in grades 7-12 from all over the city gathered at Montgomery City Hall for a day to debate the city ordinances they prepared.
This year 42 Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School 7th and 8th grade students participated by writing, proposing, and defending their city ordinances. 14 of the 23 approved ordinances for debate were written by Montgomery Catholic students and all but two of our ordinances that were debated passed into ‘law’.
