Mayor Bowen visits second graders at Wellington Christian School

On October 3, Wellington Mayor, Darell Bowen visited second graders at Wellington Christian School. The students prepared a skit and sang songs for the Mayor. They also let him know that they are praying every day for him and his leadership in our community. Every student had the opportunity to ask the Mayor a question. One question in particular was, “What advice would the mayor give to school children if they wanted to become mayor some day?” Mayor Bowen’s response was that the children should get involved with community service. This would prepare them for the amount of selfless service they would need as a community leader. Mayor Bowen explained to the children that the reason he wanted to become Mayor of Wellington was that he wanted to make a difference in the community he lives in. His hope is that the children would want to stay in Wellington to raise their families one day. Each student shook Mayor Bowens hand and thanked him for visiting their school and classrooms.
