Hi, my name is Tanner Bowman. I am a member of Unit 3 on the Brown County Junior High We the People Team. Unit 3 covers the history of the Constitution and the powers of the three branches of government.I wanted to join We the People because I have always had a love of American history. I also wanted to join because I wanted to continue the streak of winning state and take back the national title.In my free time, I enjoy traveling the world and building model WWII aircraft.
Whitney Clark
My name is Whitney Clark. I am in Unit 6 of the We the People class. Unit 6 studies the rights and responsibilities of citizens.This class will continue to have a large impact on my life, although it is only a yearlong class. I realize how important it is to participate in government and what a large impact you can make for your community.We the People has not only taught me much about government but many life lessons that I will continue to carry with me throughout my lifetime. This class has made me realize how much I like to learn about our government and how it was formed that I possibly will want to take a career in politics.
Outside of We the People, I continue to work hard in 4-H and in sports. In my free time, I like to spend time with my friends and family.
