Friday, March 31 was Student Government Day at the State House and two seniors from Lowell High School visited State Senator Ed Kennedy’s office at the State House. Dominik Lay, who is a member of Senator Kennedy’s staff and a member of the Lowell School Committee acted as host during the visit, which included pizza for lunch in the Senator’s office.
In 1947, the Massachusetts Legislature enacted a program called Student Government Day (originally Good Government Day) which is traditionally held on a Friday in April. This is an informative program about state government, that includes students participating in the role of elected or appointed officials to “observe the processes of government.”
