Mrs. Bieler's government class took a field trip to the Iowa Capitol on Tuesday. While there they got a tour of the capitol building, got to sit in on some bills being debated and voted on in the Senate, and were able to meet with our House Representative, Matt Windschitl. Students were able to ask Windschitl about what his day to day life as a representative looks like and learn more about legislating. We would like to thank Rep. Windschitl for taking the time out of his busy schedule to meet with us.
