Meeting Students 
I am pleased to have joined with over 400 fourth graders from District 16 school districts in their visits to the State House. These visits with the children as they tour the State House and learn about New Hampshire History and state government are very rewarding. And, I recently read to first, second and third graders at Hooksett’s Underhill Elementary School.
