Illinois State Rep. Dave Severin (R-Benton), surprised three local district elementary schools when he delivered, in-person, collections of donated school supplies and visited with students, according to a Dec 4. Facebook post.
“Today I had the privilege of visiting some of our district’s grade schools. I was delivering school supplies that you as gracious, kind donors provided,” Severin said in his Facebook post. "We waited till now as Covid and remote learning affected when students could really use these supplies."
Schools that the Severin visited included Ewing-Northern Elementary School, Sesser-Valier Elementary School and Johnston City grade school.

According to another Facebook post on the same day, Severin also had a chance to visit with Seniors at Murphysboro High School.
“Yesterday was an exciting day to spend some time with Seniors at Murphysboro High School with Mr. Jerrells’s classes,” Severin said. “Discussing the day in the life of a legislator and also what goes on in Springfield, bills, web sites etc. I was very impressed with their interest of politics and also their life ambitions. We are in good hands with these kids taking care of business in the future.”
