Mayor Blum Visited the 3rd and

2nd/3rd Classrooms At Vieja!

Mayor Blum explained what exactly a mayor does.

We asked lots of questions.

Mayor Blum told us that she loves her job

even though it is a lot of hard work!

We learned so much...

Did you know she met the President?

Did you know she has three children?

Did you know she works 24/7?

Did you know she met 300 other mayors?

Did you know the youngest mayor she met was 23 years old?

Did you know that before she was mayor,

she taught 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades?

Did you know she wore out two pairs of shoes because

she walked to 14,000 homes introducing herself to potential voters?

Did you know she received 5,280 votes (the number of feet in a mile)?

Did you know she has been the mayor for one month?

Did you know she has a cat and a dog?

Did you know that just the other day she called tree trimmers

to trim a tree that was leaning toward an electrical line?

Did you know she helps our city every single day?
