Girl's State and Boy's State
	Cherry Hill Zone PTA Sponsors one girl and one boy from Cherry Hill (although more than two students from Cherry Hill attend the programs described below). Each delegate has the opportunity to govern and interact with some of the top high school juniors from across the State of New Jersey and run its own mythical 51st state. They will have a unique opportunity to not only learn about but try to find solutions to the real life problems facing our municipalities, counties and the state as a whole. They will also hear how your real life counterparts are dealing with those same issues in their jobs as councilmen, mayors, freeholders, county executives, assemblymen, senators, and governor.
