North Warren Fourth Graders Visit State Capitol
ALBANY, NY — The halls of the New York State Capitol were filled with local pride this week as fourth-grade students from North Warren Central School traveled to the heart of state government. Students from the classes of Ms. Cooper and Mrs. Pandillo enjoyed a firsthand look at the legislative process and the historic architecture of Albany.
A highlight of the trip was a personal meeting with Assemblyman Matt Simpson, who represents the North Warren community. The Assemblyman took time out of the legislative session to speak with the students, answer their questions about state government, and hear about what they are learning in school.
The visit left a lasting impression on both the students and the Assemblyman. Following the meeting, Mr. Simpson shared his enthusiasm for hosting the young constituents.
"The best days in Albany are the days I get to chat with folks from the home district!" said Assemblyman Simpson. "Thank you to the North Warren Central School 4th graders for visiting with me on your trip to the Capitol!"
Field trips like these provide a vital link between the classroom and the real world, allowing students to see how the civics lessons they study in their textbooks translate into the daily operations of the state. The North Warren Central School District continues to prioritize these enrichment opportunities, ensuring students grow into informed and engaged citizens.
