Government in the classroom

Posted

On Oct. 30,  Rhode Island Secretary of State Nellie Gorbea  visited the seventh and eighth grade American Government classes at the Providence Hebrew Day School (PHDS).  She shared information with the students about her background, how she came to her current position and the role of her office. 

The students asked questions about term limits, her opinion regarding Puerto Rico’s statehood, and how she juggles home life and job. She distributed Rhode Island Red pins to the students. Then, Gorbea toured the elementary school and was introduced to students and teachers.
