The Maple Valley City Council signed a proclamation at Monday night’s meeting, declaring the week of April 20, 2015 to be “We the People” week.

The declaration came as a result of Tahoma High School’s We The People team winning the state championship for the 19th time on Jan. 10.

The team of 26 seniors will travel to Washington, D.C. for the national competition beginning April 24.

Some of the questions that may be asked at the competition in Washington, D.C. include: “The British Constitution has been described as ‘evolutionary’ and as ‘a tapestry, deftly woven and embellished over time.’ Are those fitting descriptions? Why or why not?” and “How would you explain procedural justice and what important purposes does it serve?”

A group of four of the “weoples” gave a demonstration of their knowledge at the packed meeting Monday.
