SHS Mayor Dorothy got to spend the day with Frankfort's Mayor Gippy Graham. This is what she had to say:
I went to visit Mayor Gippy at his office! He gavae me a tour of the building. I met the Chief of Police and he showed me around. I learned about a lot of police work. I met a lot of people that work for the Mayor and for the police too. Mayor Gippy was so nice to me that he gave me the key to the City of Frankfort. I learned what to do when you call 911. The Mayor has a huge job to do. Gippy helped me a lot and I learned from Mayor Gippy too. Everyone was so nice and I would like to visit again.
