Fifth graders in Nevada are advocating for the blue elderberry to be designated as the state's official fruit.

Fifth graders at Sage Elementary in Nevada are advocating for the blue elderberry as the states first official fruit, drawing inspiration from New Hampshires pumpkin. The elderberry holds cultural significance for Native Americans and offers health benefits. After writing letters to officials, Republican Assemblymember Burt Gurr pledged to introduce a bill, inviting the kids to Carson City.
