Mayor Bartholomew Visits Pine Bend EL Students To Discuss Ideas

Press release from the Inver Grove Heights Schools:

December 27, 2021

Pine Bend Elementary School third graders wrote letters to Inver Grove Heights Mayor Tom Bartholomew in their English Language (EL) class. The letters addressed problems identified by the class and provided ideas to help solve them. Some of the issues students identified focused on homelessness, animal protection, the need for more trees, and trash management.

Mayor Bartholomew responded to the student letters and scheduled a visit with students to discuss some ways the city government is responding to the issues they pointed out. Students asked him questions about his job as mayor, and he talked about his role, the election process, and how other city departments function, such as the police department and the public works department. Thank you to Mayor Bartholomew for taking time to visit students and teach them about our government.
