WILMINGTON, Del. – On Thursday, May 29th, Lt. Governor Matt Denn will be in New Castle County.
He will visit Old State Elementary School in the Appoquinimink School District, where he will be in Carrie Maxwell’s 4th grade class. Her class extended an invitation for the Lt. Governor to visit and learn more about the Leader in Me process at the school. Mrs. Maxwell’s 34 students have been working on a presentation for the Lt.
