BRIDGE CLIENTS IN THE COMMUNITY
Bridge clients register to vote!
GED Students celebrated Independence Day this week by exploring our national, state, and local governments. After reading and discussing the Declaration of Independence, students took a tour of the Massachusetts State House and travelled to Boston City Hall to register to vote. A few highlights from the week were meeting with Boston Commissioner of Elections Ellen Rooney and sitting in on the Massachusetts House of Representatives during a session of debates. We are all looking forward to the next election to exercise the rights granted to us by our founding fathers!
