MESSAGE FROM MAYOR KLING
JOIN MAYOR'S TEEN COUNCIL!

Nampa students in grades 9th-12th are invited to join me at Nampa City Hall for a fun "meet and greet" with the Mayor's Teen Council Wed., September 22 at 5:30 p.m.

The Nampa Mayor's Teen Council is a wonderful way for students to learn about their city government, community, each other and themselves. Please invite high school students you may know to check out Nampa's Mayor Teen Council! We'd love to visit with them and get to know Nampa's future leaders.
