Seventh-grade civics field trip: Gulf Stream Town Hall — May 10

As part of their U.S. government class, Gulf Stream School seventh-grade students (l-r) Jake Julien, Katherine Erbstein and Tessa Sorenson address the Gulf Stream Town Commission about changing the driving age for golf carts in town. As part of their class, they had learned that the town follows state regulations on driving rules. Teacher Barbara Tkac and Ocean Ridge Commissioner Kristine de Haseth accompanied the students following a classroom discussion on local government. All 24 seventh-graders attended the meeting. It was the first time the class had attended a town meeting. Photo by Rachel O’Hara/Gulf Stream School
