Thank you to PA State Rep. Mike Armanini for visiting St. Mary’s Catholic Elementary School to read to our Kindergarten and first-grade students. Mr. Armanini shared a book on agriculture through the PA Friends of Agriculture Foundation. The Pennsylvania Friends of Agriculture’s 2025 Ag Literacy Week book, “The Soil in Jackie’s Garden,” allows children to discover the wonders of gardening, soil secrets, and the magic of composting.

State Rep. Armanini provided book copies and activities, along with snacks, for each class.
