Mayor visits, thanks grade-schoolers
STAFF REPORT | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 14 years, 6 months AGO
ROYAL CITY - Royal City Mayor Mike Stark went to the Red Rock Elementary School to visit with second- through fourth-grade students who wrote papers describing what living in Royal City means to them for the 50th Birthday of Royal, celebrated on Feb. 14.
Students in these classrooms wrote papers that were displayed at City Hall during the Open House. They surprised the mayor with many interesting questions, such as:
"How much money do you make?"
"Does the mayor live in a special house (like the White House)?"
"Is it hard work?"
"How old were you when you started?"
The questions made the mayor chuckle, but he answered all of them.
"I live in a regular house for regular people," he said.
