On April 26, 2010 more then 40 seniors from the Ilion High School took part in the Youth and Government Day annually sponsored in cooperation with the Elks Lodge, the Village of Ilion and the Ilion High School. Students learned about various jobs and responsibilities in their local government and then assumed roles in a mock village board meeting. During the meeting the Student Village Board discussed factors on new technology that would continue the Village's Go green efforts. Mayor for the day Rachel Stegemann and other fellow students conducted a meeting with excellent suggestions and insight into use of hybrid police cars, while trying to maintain taxpayers' dollars. A special dinner was provided on the evening of the 25th by the Elks for students, parents, and school and village officials.
