Wyoming Secretary of State Ed Buchanan visited Cheyenne’s Laura E. Mason Christian Academy Feb. 20 for Read Across America Week. Students interviewed Buchanan as they earned their Pathfinder citizenship honor and fulfilled an assignment for their social studies curriculum.

During his visit, Buchanan discussed his role in state government, the closing days of the Wyoming Legislature, and how education helped him become Wyoming’s second ranking statewide elected official. At the end of Buchanan’s visit, the school’s chime choir, directed by principal Nancy Arias, closed the meeting by providing a flawless performance of two of their favorite selections.
