At the Hollister High School awards ceremony, I introduced Ana Kaplanski, the 2026 Girl State delegate, and Julia Nordstrom, the first alternate delegate. I also honored Julia Nordstrom as the district-level winner of the American Legion Auxiliary Americanism Essay Contest, presenting her with a certificate and monetary award of $125 ($25 + $100) for her outstanding essay. Furthermore, a Certificate of Recognition was awarded to Mrs. Mary Andrade, counselor at Hollister High School, for her exceptional dedication to and support of the American Legion Auxiliary Girl State Program.
