Rockaway Park, NY (September 22, 2014) –About 200 middle school students sat in the auditorium at the Waterside School for Leadership M.S. 318 as State Senator Joseph Addabbo, Jr. discussed his own role as a leader, both in the community and in Albany.

“I love any opportunity to speak to students, especially at the middle school level, at which a child’s path can truly be determined. These 200 kids greatly impressed me with their attentiveness and genuine interest, plus the tough questions they threw my way,” Addabbo said. “I thank Principal Linda Munro, Allison Isaac and the Waterside staff for allowing me the opportunity to spend time with their students.”
