State Senator Tom O’Mara (R-C, Big Flats) and Assemblyman Phil Palmesano (R,C-Corning) recently welcomed a fifth-grade class from St. Michael School in Penn Yan to the State Capitol. The students and their teacher, Keith Prather, visited Albany on a class trip and met with O’Mara and Palmesano in the Assembly’s legislative chamber on Thursday, May 16.
In a joint statement, O’Mara and Palmesano expressed their pleasure at hosting the group: “It’s always great to see students and teachers from back home and to have the opportunity to showcase our historic State Capitol. Thank you to Mr. Prather and his fifth-grade class for an enjoyable visit and discussion. 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 our nation.”
The visit included stops at notable locations within the Capitol, such as the Million Dollar Staircase and the rostrum in the Assembly Chamber.
