Acor invited to lead pledge at the state capitol

r Springville Junior High School seventh-grader Cooper Acor was invited by Representative Francis Gibson to the state Capitol recently to lead the House of Representatives in the Pledge of Allegiance on the House floor. Acor was extended the invitation after he responded to an email Gibson had sent to his constituents asking for a volunteer. Acor is a Boy Scout in Troop 67 of the Hobble Creek District and explained to Gibson he was currently working on his Citizenship in the Nation Merit Badge. After leading the Pledge of Allegiance, Acor enjoyed a VIP tour of the state Capitol as well as an explanation of how a bill becomes a law during the legislative session.
