During the recent Assembly Floor Session on April 24, 2025, a notable highlight was the recognition of outstanding seniors from Casa Grande High School in Petaluma. Assemblymember Connolly welcomed these students, who are part of a civic education program aimed at fostering engagement and understanding of government processes. This visit to the Capitol marked the culmination of their semester-long efforts to learn about public policy and the importance of civic involvement.

Connolly expressed hope that the experience would inspire the students to pursue public service and advocacy in their communities. This initiative underscores the Assembly's commitment to nurturing the next generation of leaders and encouraging active participation in democracy.

In addition to the student recognition, the Assembly moved forward with routine legislative business, including the passing of items on the consent calendar. A resolution related to World IBS Day was also introduced, with 59 members signing on as co-authors, reflecting a collaborative effort to raise awareness about this health issue.

The session demonstrated a blend of educational outreach and legislative action, emphasizing the Assembly's role in both governance and community engagement. As the Assembly continues its work, the involvement of young citizens like those from Casa Grande High School serves as a reminder of the importance of civic education in shaping informed and active communities.
