Lawrence Mayor Alex H. Edelman welcomed the seven area high school and college students who will be summer interns at the Village of Lawrence.
The students, from Stella K. Abraham High School, Torah Academy for Girls, Queens College, DRS High School, HAFTR High School and Rambam Mesivta, are part of an ongoing program that allows area students to participate in all phases of Village government.
“It’s the government and court closest to them”, says Mayor Edelman, “and it’s of great value that they feel a part of it, and gain an understanding as to how local government impacts their lives”.
