Senator for a Day is a WRAP!
This year, we had over 300 students participate, which is a new state record! Students from all over southern York County came to Harrisburg to craft legislation, amend in committee, and vote for them in general session! One thing I learned from this year - Pennsylvania`s future is in great hands. The students were thoughtful, respectful, and wise beyond their years.
Thank you to all the many hands from up here in Harrisburg to back down in the schools for making today possible!
Today`s opening #prayer was offered by York County`s very own, Reverend Dr. Easter Smart of Centre Presbyterian Church in New Park! This #historic #church has been part of the foundation of York County since 1780, and it was an honor to have their pastor in our state Capitol. It was wonderful to welcome, Mary Anderson Linkous, Centre`s Session Clerk and Church Administrator. Mary is the daughter of the former State Representative, John Hope Anderson.
You can watch Pastor Smart`s prayer and introduction on my YouTube page, π in bio!
GONE TO THE DOGS πΎ

Every Baby Loss Matters π©·π
This weekend, I was honored to present Bernice Quesenberry, founder of Chasing the Rainbows, with Senate Resolution 387 that designated #October as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month In #Pennsylvania.
With 1 in 4 #pregnancies ending in loss, Chasing the Rainbows ensures that no mother, no family grieves alone. And this resolution ensures that their pain is recognized, their #babies are honored, and a clear message is sent: Every Baby Loss Matters.
Thank you, Bernice, for turning your own personal heartbreak into a beacon of #hope for hundreds of thousands. Your incredible #advocacy created Chasing the Rainbows and provides free lifesaving support and hope to moms and their families here in #York County, across Pennsylvania, and in every state in our nation. ππ©·π

It was a pleasure #reading to the kiddos at SEYCO Nursery School this morning! SEYCO offers affordable, half-day child care in Stewartstown, and it was very nice to meet those who make it possible!
