Mr. John Wortman, Social Studies and Gifted teacher at Forest Area, took a group of West Forest juniors to Government Outreach Day in McKean County, Bradford, on Thursday, October 24. The students met with Congressman Glenn Thompson, their local representative in the U.S. House. He answered questions from students and talked about his political experiences. The President of the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford, Rick Esch, also spoke to students as did Kane’s Mayor. After the discussion, they also walked around the campus and experienced lunch at the university’s dining hall.
