Visitation students get close-up view of government in action
Sixth-graders from a Bay Ridge Catholic school were treated like VIPs in the state Capitol when they paid a visit to their local lawmaker.
During their recent one-day trip to Albany, the sixth grade class from Visitation Academy, an all-girls school at 8902 Ridge Blvd., got the chance to see the state Senate vote on bills in the Senate chamber and discuss impending legislation.
The girls also spent some time with state Sen. Marty Golden, (R-C-Bay Ridge-Southwest Brooklyn) their local representative.
