A Visit from the Mayor!

 

photo (1)Hudsonville Mayor Don VanDoeselaar came to visit our second grade students this week!  In social studies, we have been talking about how good citizens solve community problems by working together. Mayor VanDoeselaar illustrated this by presenting a current issue that he and the town council are currently working on: whether or not to create a new sledding hill for the citizens of Hudsonville at Hillside Park and closing Watertower Hill on 36th Avenue.  He presented the pros and cons for each side of the issue.  Students voted and there was a majority vote for moving the hill to Hillside Park!  Mayor VanDoeselaar will bring the results to the town council where the issue will be decided on this fall.  Way to go, boys and girls!  You were an important part of the Democratic process! What good citizens you are!! 🙂
