Mayor Sarno joined our students this week as a guest panelist in our Civics and Government class. Our students were delighted to sit down with Mayor Sarno and ask our city's leader questions about Springfield, city government, and politics.

“I saw hundreds of Springfield students learning, growing and expressing themselves in a safe environment – and the entire summer program is free of charge,” says Mayor Sarno.

Thank you, Mayor Sarno!
