Eighth-graders from The Matt Garcia Learning Center on May 11 visited the state Capitol in Sacramento.
The field trip was a culminating activity to observe Sen. Lois Wolk, D-Davis, present Senate Bill 128 (the end-of-life bill) to the Senate Appropriations Committee. The legislation has since cleared the full state Senate and awaits action in the state Assembly.
Participants included Diamond Aiken, Anthony Barajas, Tyler Carpenter, Miranda Felix, Jacob Jones, Keshawn Johnson, Sade Miller, Edwin Ruiz, Giselle Ruiz, Markee Scott, Kalelah Washington, Taylor Whitfield, Dwynah Young, Laura Blake, Denise Felix, Bonnie Okamura, Leonia Scott, Rita Upshaw and Candace Wills.
