San Marcos Academy lower school students in grades kindergarten through second hosted San Marcos Mayor Jane Hughson for a presentation and question and answer session on Thursday, Sept. 12 as part of their unit on community.
Hughson spoke to the students about her role and responsibilities as the mayor of San Marcos and why she chose to serve her community. Students were then able to ask Hughson questions about her daily duties, what she liked to do, how long she had served and even who her favorite people to visit with are. When asked what her favorite part of being the mayor was, Hughson replied, “Whenever I and the council are doing something that helps people.”
The second grade students also had a request for Hughson. They requested more trash cans in San Marcos and for more signs to remind people not to litter. The mayor explained to the students that the city of San Marcos has three people on staff dedicated to cleaning up the litter but that she appreciated the students’ concern for the Earth and the environment.
