Albany, N.Y., May 19—State Senator Tom O’Mara (R-C, Big Flats) on Thursday, May 18, welcomed a 5th-grade class from St. Michael School in Penn Yan to the Capitol.
The students, a group of parents and teacher Keith Prather were on a class trip and met with O’Mara outside the Senate’s legislative chamber and saw some of the sights at the Capitol.
O’Mara said, “It’s always exciting to see students, and their parents and teachers, from back home and to have the opportunity to showcase our historic State Capitol. Thank you to Mr. Prather, his students, and their parents for an enjoyable visit. We’re always hopeful that young people will continue to have an interest in government throughout their lives and be inspired to be future leaders of our local communities, our state, and the nation.”
