Congressman talks to local students
U.S. Rep. Steve Austria, R-Beavercreek, spoke to South Vienna Elementary fourth-graders this morning about the legislative process, Abraham Lincoln and a time capsule that will hold the students’ essays for the next 50 years.
Two of Nona Alleman’s social studies classes participated in a program to write essays about the 16th president that will be entombed in a time capsule for the next fifty years as part of the bicentennial celebration of Abraham Lincoln, born Feb. 12, 1809.
Austria, who will also write an essay on the selected theme of what Lincoln means today, collected the essays today and will take them back to Washington, D.C. to join the commemoration activities, he said.
Look for more on the students’ time with Austria in Tuesday’s News-Sun.
