John A. DeFrancisco's Photos

St. Mary's Academy students had a wonderful time in Albany touring the New York State Capitol.

I am extremely proud of all of the students who won this challenge, as well as the students in my district who participated. I hope that these students will walk away from the First Lady’s fun and interactive challenge with a new way of thinking and skills that will help them to lead healthier lives.

Senator John A. DeFrancisco congratulates Andrew Bowman, who received the New York State Assembly’s Excelsior Award for Excellence. Andrew is very active in the community and with Special Olympics. Last year, he went to the Special Olympic competition in Binghamton, New York, where he won a gold medal in the free-style swimming event.

I was very happy to meet this wonderful group of Jordan Elbridge High School students. The students came to Albany to tour the New York State Capitol and learn about state government.

I was very happy to meet these students, who are members of the Liverpool Middle School Student Council.
