Opportunity for Boys in the Class of 2024
Boys State is offered at SUNY Morrisville during the last week in June, 2023.
Our local American Legion, Helmuth-Ingalls Post 232 is sponsoring 4 boys from Clinton High
School with the possibility of up to 6 boys to attend this year. Mr. Les LaBrecque, a member of
the Helmuth-Ingalls Post, provided the following description of Boys State:
Boy’s State was developed by the American Legion to give youth a better perspective of the
practical operation of government. To do this the program attempts to teach that the individual is
an integral part and responsible for the character and success of government (in other words
“practical citizenship”). Boy’s State is often called a Leadership Action Program. In order to
accomplish these objectives the participants are broken out into a two-party system as it exists in
NY from the local to State level. The parties then run competitive campaigns for the various
political offices (Mayor, Governor, etc.).
In addition to the campaign side there are numerous guest speakers, sports and other activities. I
have been associated with the Boy’s State program for almost 10 years and remarkably, every
boy we have sent to Boy’s State has told us that it was one of the best weeks they have ever
spent!
If you think this is a program you would like to participate in please stop by the Counseling
Office and see Mrs. Edmunds or your School Counseling by Tuesday, January 31.

P2 Character Strength of the Week: Perseverance
This week our school community will be focusing on the character strength of Perseverance. Perseverance means you complete what you start despite obstacles. You never give up.
The concept of perseverance can most often be found in one’s active pursuit of overcoming obstacles. Perseverance is a uniquely human characteristic that identifies an individual’s ability to spend long periods of time devoted to a single goal or set of goals. People demonstrating high levels of perseverance can handle significant, sometimes repeated, setbacks in pursuit of goals.
Those who persevere through setbacks often reap the benefits of the success gained by refusing to give up. Sometimes, this comes with the added benefit of increased knowledge and skill as a result of the work needed to achieve. A single group member’s ability or willingness to persevere can substantially impact those working with them and the team. Groups that show high levels of perseverance can achieve goals they may not have believed possible.
