by Brian Pekarek
On Thursday, April 1st, U.S. Senator Sam Brownback toured the Clifton-Clyde School District. Senator Brownback made a special trip to the Clifton-Clyde School District in order to meet with the students and staff because he had heard about the district being named the "Highest Performing Academic School District in Kansas." He had also heard about Clifton-Clyde High School being named the "2010 Kansas Green School of the Year". During the student-led tours of the grade school, middle school, and high school, Senator Brownback got a chance to meet with the students and staff and view the district's many renewable energy projects. The students also gave the senator two presentations on the district's "green projects": which included their wind turbine, solar panels, biomass composting sites, and greenhouses. After the tour, the senator met with all of the seniors at Clifton-Clyde High School and answered their political questions on health care, the environment, the economy, and the future of Kansas.
