Rep. Hall Joins Special Guests at Hazardville Memorial Elementary for Reading Event

State Rep. Carol Hall had the honor of being a special guest this morning during Hazardville Memorial's annual reading event. As part of this event, each student gets to choose their very own special person to come into their classroom and read alongside them for a period of time. For students whose special person is unable to attend due to a scheduling conflict, work, or some other reason, the school reaches out to various community members to fill in as that student's special guest. "It was extremely special to have had the opportunity to volunteer and be Lilly's special guest," Rep. Hall said. She is a big fan of Mo Willems, so I got a chance to learned who he is and all about the Pigeon and Piggie and Gerald." "Thank you to Principal Fitzsimons for having me and Ms. Killmer for inviting me into her classroom. It was a very special day and one I won't forget."

Rep. Hall Participates in Annual Reading Event

Representative Hall enjoyed her visit to Eli Whitney School last week as part of Read Across America Day! "It was a pleasure to have had another chance to read to Mrs. Silva's 3rd grade and Mrs. Suleski's 4th grade classes. The students were attentive, polite, respectful, and engaged. With the book being about pet adoption, it gave me an opportunity to share pictures of the new Bernese Mountain dog we recently adopted," Rep. Hall said. Next week Representative Hall will be at Hazardville Memorial School in Enfield and Broad Brook Elementary in East Windsor for additional reading opportunities!

Rep. Hall Reacts to Siting Council's Decision to Approve Solar Expansion

On Thursday, the Connecticut Siting Council voted unanimously to approve the expansion of Gravel Pit Solar in East Windsor. "This decision is completely unacceptable," Rep. Hall said. "The 'fair share' approach we take on every other issue should indeed apply here as well. No one town (or area) should be forced to take on the majority of these developments. The decision making needs to return back to our local municipalities."

Legislative Breakfast Highlights Local Community College

On Wednesday, State Representative Carol Hall joined Senator John A. Kissel at CT State Asnuntuck for a legislative discussion and update on what is happening at the school, the programs being offered, and any other developments related to state government. The event included highlights on the Connecticut State Colleges and Universities (CSCU) system as a whole, positive news regarding enrollment, and how CT State's machine program is setting up students for job placement upon graduation. Additionally, there are plans to expand both their trade and certificate programs. "It should come as no surprise to anyone that this campus continues to shine," Rep. Hall said. "It has, and continues to, provide people of all ages with a good quality education and tangible skills they can take right into the workplace. It truly is a local gem that we are fortunate to partner with."
