AP Government Students Host Interest Group Convention
Vilseck High School’s AP Government students brought politics to life with an Interest Group Convention! Students represented real interest groups, shared their history and achievements, and competed for “donations” from peers using pretend money. This hands-on activity showed how lobbying influences policy and connects directly to DoDEA standards on civic participation and political processes.

To all of our students, families and school communities across DoDEA Europe, I send my warmest wishes for a joyful holiday season. This time of year reminds us of the importance of connection, gratitude and the strength we find in one another.
