Face to Face

with a State Rep
Meeting a Massachusetts State Representative

On Friday, October 20, 2006, our second grade class was thrilled to host a visit from Rep. Anne Paulsen.

Children had been asked to think about and write questions for her, as part of a homework assignment. Below are the questions the children asked.
