CMS 4th graders learn about legislature, meet Kentucky governor Students meet Gov. Bevin, Sen. Wise and Rep. Carney, see major many State Government sites in Frankfort. Click on headline for complete story large photo album by Calen McKinney By Calen McKinney Campbellsville Middle School fourth-graders experienced Kentucky's legislature up close and personal recently. On Tuesday, April 12, the students traveled to Frankfort to tour the current and old capitol buildings and the Thomas D. Clark Center for Kentucky History. Students began their day at the Old State Capitol and saw firsthand how the building was used to conduct legislative meetings. While on the former House of Representatives and Senate floors, students got to sit where state senators and representatives did when the building was in use, from 1830 to 1910. Students voted on a bill to build an iron fence around the building. They also learned that Kentucky's role in the Civil War and emancipation were discussed in those very rooms. The fourth-graders got to see several artifacts from the 1800s, including books, money, games and much more. After touring the Old State Capitol, students ate lunch and then some traveled to the current capitol building while others toured the Kentucky history museum. At the capitol building, students saw Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin sign House Bill 40 in a special ceremony. After the ceremony, students met Bevin and talked with him. State Rep. John "Bam" Carney, R-Campbellsville, and State Sen. Max Wise, R-Campbellsville, spoke to students about how the House and Senate operate. They showed students the House and Senate chambers and discussed how bills become law and why legislators were still discussing a state budget. Since students were visiting the capitol on Henry Clay's birthday, Wise and Carney said they hoped the spirit of compromise was in the air as senators and representatives considered the budget. The CMS fourth-graders have been studying state government in Kaye Agathen's social studies classes.
