Thank you to Mrs. Worman and Mrs. Koester for having me talk to their 4th Grade classes at Dieterich School today. I explained what I do in the Illinois General Assembly and quizzed them on basic information about our State. I had them pretend to be “State Representatives for a Day” and had them vote on whether they wanted Pizza or Chicken Nuggets for Dinner. Pizza won! They all received an Illinois State Certificate for “making their first vote,” a coloring book with Illinois State symbols, a special State bookmark, and each received their own “Patriotic Voting Hat.” I talked about how I “argue” or “debate” in Springfield for what I feel are the best laws.
If you have a class that would like to learn about their state government, please contact the district office to schedule a time for Rep. Niemerg to visit.
