Third-grade students at Steel Valley School District's Park Elementary will learn about local government with a variety of events during Borough Days on April 16-17. Park students will attend and help run a borough council meeting at 7 p.m. April 16 and the entire school will celebrate Borough Days with a 1 p.m. parade the following day.
This collaboration between the district and the borough is in its 22nd year. Each year, third-graders learn about elections and government positions within the borough. Munhall Mayor Ray Bodnar met with students earlier this month and each student was asked to make an election poster and conduct an election.
