Lindenhurst Making Civics Lessons Real - And Local

From Lindenhurst Village Hall

Mayor Michael Lavorata recently took a trip to Albany Avenue Elementary School to speak to Third Grade students about being Mayor of the Village of Lindenhurst.

Mayor Lavorata told the students about the duties of being Mayor, and the students had the opportunity to ask the Mayor questions.

Mayor Lavorata said, “One of the best questions asked was ‘What do you do when you don’t know something?’, and I replied that I seek counsel from those who have done it before. Learning from others, like County Legislator Kevin McCaffrey, Town Supervisor Rich Schaffer, and Former Mayors Lynda Distler & Tom Brennan, has been an important and invaluable tool in doing my job as Mayor.”

Additionally, West Gates Avenue Elementary and Lindenhurst Middle School students also recently took trips to Village Hall where Mayor Lavorata and Deputy Mayor RJ Renna explained the various functions of government, answered questions, and gave the students a tour of Village Hall.

“The Village is thankful for the partnership with the Lindenhurst School District in teaching our young people about civics,” added Deputy Mayor Renna.
