PA State Representative Kristin Marcell invited all fourth and fifth grade students who live in the 178th District to submit their idea for a new Pennsylvania law as part of her "Ought to Be a Law" Contest. This annual contest invites students to put their creativity and critical thinking to work by proposing a new state law. The goal is to get students thinking about the legislative process and how laws can solve real-world problems.
Fifth grade students Ronald, Liam, Emanuel, Patrick, Anthony, and Lily each wrote essays explaining their thoughtful and creative ideas for new laws for the state of Pennsylvania. Congratulations to Ronald L, a fifth grader from Richboro Elementary School, for his winning entry that proposed a digital privacy law to protect individuals from online scammers. Ronald and his family have been invited to visit Harrisburg for an award luncheon in a few weeks.
