La Plata High School visited the General Assembly today. One of my favorite duties is to talk to students about their state government and encourage them to get involved and be good citizens for themselves, their families, and their neighborhoods.
The Visitors Guides do an excellent job in explaining the different elements of the state government and the roles of each chamber. Students also get a chance to see the Maryland General Assembly Video, “The Legislative Process.”
Today the Assembly was honoring The Cat in the Hat who sponsors along with the Maryland State Education Association the annual “Read Across America.”
