The 4th graders have been learning about civic engagement and local government. Each class wrote a letter to the Mayor, Tyler Gibson. These letters covered topics including community engagement, town events, and town beautification. Today Mayor Gibson visited the class and spoke about his role and experience as Mayor. He was accompanied by town manager, Tammy Newman. They explained the importance of municipal government and how a town works to address public concerns. Thank you to Mr. Gibson and Mrs. Newman for taking time to listen to the 4th grade class and help them learn about the town of Springfield and local government!
