Greencastle, IN – Today, Congressman Jim Baird (IN-04) and State Representative Beau Baird (HD-44) visited South Putnam High School in Greencastle in observance of Veterans Day and to speak with students about the meaning of service. The two leaders addressed the school to help the students better understand our government and how they can have a positive impact on their community.

“Introducing the next generation to the principles of service can be just as impactful as my official responsibilities in Congress,” said Congressman Jim Baird. “Inspiring our students to become informed citizens will strengthen our communities and encourage them to make informed choices about the future. I’d like to thank the entire South Putnam High School community for hosting us, and I appreciate the students for their participation.”

"I can tell you from experience that our students are ready and willing to take up leadership positions, but it is our responsibility to show them the way,” said State Rep. Beau Baird. “It’s crucial that our students understand how to interface with our government so they can make positive change and become effective leaders in the future.”
