Albany, New York – This past week Assemblywoman Stacey Pheffer Amato (D-Rockaway Beach) hosted the Channel View School for Research’s ‘Crew Council’ in Albany. The Crew Council is the student government organization at Channel View and every year they travel to Albany to see the Capitol in action. The group attended NYS Assembly Legislative session, were introduced on the floor of the Assembly, toured the NYS Museum, and then went to the Corning Tower.

“I couldn't be prouder to represent the students, faculty and parents of Channel View, and I hope that this day is yet another step in preparing them for a life of engagement in their community and beyond,” said Pheffer Amato. “We need more students like these, more parents like their parents, and more schools like Channel View that prepare our students for leadership both in and beyond the classroom.”
