DECATUR â Middle school students usually feel their voices are drowned out by adults who aren't listening to their concerns or thoughts. However, students in the Middle School Civics Club had a chance to speak directly to the seven school board candidates during virtual interviews this week. It was a chance to make their voices heard, said student Dominick Hernandez-Bruno. âWe students have a lot to say,â said Christina Allen. âBut we can't always say it without a lot of encouragement, and in the Civics Club, we can finally say what we need to say and get our point across to adults.â
