Subject: Student Involvement Civics Project

Dear President Gentile,

Is there a teacher at your school who would be interested in a civics project on legislation?

Student Benefits:
  • Learn about government
  • Feel empowered, become involved with the governance process
  • More likely to vote
  • Help the school and other students

What the students could do:
  • Pick bills they would like to promote, possibly bills about education
  • Write emails, make calls
  • Attend a hearing locally or the statehouse, give testimony
  • Visit their representative and/or senator

My background:
  • Registering new voters at NSCC
  • Active in environmental work
  • Give testimony and lobby for bills at the state house
  • Former engineer and teacher
  • Give brief talks to students about the importance of voting
  • GED tutor and teacher in math

I could help them with each step.


Sincerely,


Steven Levy
