TeenPact is coming April 16-20, 2007TeenPact, a 4-day Biblical Government/Leadership class, for 13-18 year olds, is coming to the Oklahoma State Capitol! TeenPact not only gives students a hands-on governmental experience, but also is a class in Biblical citizenship and leadership. During the class, your student will experience parliamentary procedure, speeches from elected officials, daily briefings, field experiences, and much more. If your children are between the ages of 8-12, I highly encourage that they attend the One-Day version of TeenPact on April 20, 2007. This will give your child a glimpse into the realm of government that will not disappoint! Register online ( www.teenpact.com ) before Nov. 1, 2006 and receive extra discounts!
