On Friday, Nov. 3rd, the members of the AP US Government and Politics class (taught by Ms. Shelley Kaplowitz) were able to see how politics happens, up close and personal. Thanks to the gracious annual invitation from Steve Cohn (father of Warren, HS '05), the students were able to mix, mingle, and network possible internships with members of the State Assembly (including David Weprin, father of Stephanie '09), the City Council, NYS judges, the US Congress, and Mayor de Blasio and Governor Cuomo.
It was a terrific experience for all involved and a great lead-up to our own Flatbush Mock Mayoral election that took place on election Day.
