This week, two groups of Northfield 6th grade students visited the State Capitol. This is always a fun part of the job up here. I told the kids that we were considering a bill to increase the length of the school year by 6 weeks (and then told them that I was kidding as they all moaned). Here is a picture of some of the students.

I have no doubt that one of them will be a state legislator in the future. I’m pleased that they are learning something about our government so early.
