The Silas Wood 6th grade Student Council spent a day at the New York State Capitol building with Assemblyman Mr. Chad Lupinacci. Mr. Lupinacci graciously spent time explaining the function of the assembly, senate and answered numerous questions from the students while they were seated on the Million Dollar Staircase in the New York State Capitol. “I was very impressed with the students’ passion for learning; everyone came prepared with interesting questions about state politics and current events,” said Lupinacci. “They all were very bright and have a very good understanding of what is going on in the world. Their parents and teachers should be very proud of how engaging and polite they were during their visit.”
The students’ visit to Albany included a tour of the State Capitol and a special introduction by Lupinacci in the Assembly Chamber when they were recognized by the speaker of the assembly, who gave the kids a "shout out" during the formal meeting.“Students are always welcome to visit my Albany office to get a firsthand look at the political hub of New York State. I hope to see them again in the future,” concluded Lupinacci.
