State Rep. Brad Paquette, of Berrien Springs, was joined at the state Capitol today by his former students from the New Tech Academy at Niles High School.

Thirty-seven of Rep. Paquette’s former students visited Lansing today to meet with legislators, tour the state Capitol, and attend House session. Led by teachers Nic Hawley and Kristin Adams-Bondy, the group was able to see first-hand how state government works. They were also formally introduced by Rep. Paquette on the House floor during session.

“Having watched these young learners grow in a classroom setting to now watching them interact with legislators and advocate for issues has been really special,” Rep. Paquette said. “I’m excited to see them interested in our state government and I look forward to all of the great things they will accomplish in the future.”
