David spent the morning at Mount Eagle Elementary School in the Fairfax part of the 45th District today talking with students about their state government as part of the school’s Career Day.
The third and fourth grade students asked questions about what it is like to serve in the House of Delegates, how our state legislature works, and how they might be able to serve in elected office some day.
David asked the students what kinds of laws they would try to pass if they were Delegates. Answers ranged from laws against teasing other people to laws against smoking and unsafe driving.
“It was terrific to spend some time with such lively students,” said David. “I was impressed by how aware many of them are of current affairs, and some of their questions and comments showed surprising insight. A couple of them even asked what the General Assembly is doing to reduce traffic congestion!”
David encouraged the students to work hard in school and to find ways to give something back to our community.
“Congratulations to the students, teachers, and staff at Mount Eagle for a wonderful Career Day!” said David.
