Every year in March/April, American Legion Moore Post 197 and the Kansas American Legion sponsor a young person to attend Boys State at K-State. This year, we’ve selected Benjamin Anderson to attend the week-long leadership program.
Benjamin C. Anderson was born and raised in western Kansas. He attended Trego Grade School and then Trego Community High School. Benjamin just completed his Junior year. He is quite passionate about politics and is involved in the Student Council, being elected co-president earlier this year. He has also been active in local politics, paging for his representative in the state legislature, and worked on a campaign for the state house. He will attend the 2019 session of Boys State following in his father’s footsteps, who is an alumni of the 1980 session. He is also active in Cross Country and Tennis and participates in other High School organizations.
