Yates second
graders welcome congressman, celebrate Earth
 The
second grade students at Yates Magnet School welcomed
Congressman Paul Tonko.
Tonko's visit came
on the heels of a month full of activities that celebrated the
Earth. Students in Deborah Carey's class shared the research
they did on endangered animal species, the portraits of their
animals that they painted and poetry that they wrote. Both
Jennifer Rockinger's and Alita O'Malley's classes created
art using recycled materials. Rockinger's class also recited a
poem.
Tonko, accompanied
by his staff assistant Dylan Carey (SHS class of 2006), spoke
with the children about ways they could help make the
 Earth
a cleaner and safer place to live. He encouraged them to keep
learning about how they can make a difference.
Tonko was also
treated to a song, led by Annalisa Mertzis, entitled All
Living Things.
