Beckett Bodell has been chosen as one of two students that will join Senator Mike Crapo & Senator James E. Risch in representing Idaho in the nation’s capital during the 58th annual U.S. Senate Youth Program Washington Week, to be held March 7-14, 2020. Beckett and his counterpart, Jaelahna Coursey of Meridian were selected from among the state’s top student leaders to be part of the 104 national student delegation who will also each receive a $10,000 college scholarship for undergraduate study.
Delegates are selected by the state departments of education nationwide and the District of Columbia and Department of Defense Education Activity, after nomination by teachers and principals. The chief state school officer for each jurisdiction confirms the final selection. This year’s Idaho delegates were designated by Sherri Ybarra, Ed.S., Superintendent of Public Instruction.
While in Washington the student delegates attend meetings and briefings with senators, members of the House of Representatives, Congressional Staff, the president, a justice of the Supreme Court, leaders of cabinet agencies, an ambassador to the United States and senior members of the national media.
We are so proud of you, Beckett!

Sources of Strength is an international suicide prevention program funded by a grant from the Idaho Lives Project. This year’s group includes fourteen MTCHS and fourteen MMACHS students who have teamed up with advisors Mary Helen Green and Melissa Bishop. Their goal is to encourage students to focus on hope, help, and strength when they are dealing with difficult times, depression, and trauma.
One of their recent projects focused on the aspect of being positive friends and words that might help others who may be feeling anxious, depressed, sad, or overwhelmed. SoS peer leaders invited student input, and Evie and Emma made posters from words our students provided.
School hours are 7:45am to 2:10pm
MTCHS is an equal opportunity educator and employer.
