Brakey visits Poland Community School fourth-graders

Maine Sen. Eric Brakey, R- Androscoggin, visited Poland Community School’s fourth-graders on Jan. 22 to speak about state government and hold a mock legislature for the students, in which they proposed legislation and went through the process of how a bill becomes a law. At the end of the session, each student was excited about receiving a pocket Constitution and a high-five from Brakey. “I would like to thank Ms. Sheryl Scribner, the fourth-grade teacher who coordinated my visit,” said Brakey. “I was genuinely impressed with how engaged the Poland Community School students were and how knowledgeable they were on the legislative process. These students give me optimism for a bright Maine future.” (Submitted photo)
