Big congratulations to Leo Samuelson, a 3rd grader from Miss Andersen’s class at Badlands, for winning the Mayor for a Day essay contest!
On April 1st, the City of Watford City collected essays as part of City Government Week. After careful review, Leo’s essay was chosen as the winner!
Mayor Philip Riely visited Badlands to speak with the 3rd-grade classes, and Fox Hills joined virtually. As part of his prize, Leo got a ride to school with the SRO and was invited to join the City Council meeting with his family in the evening!
