Tom Cole ‘cool’ and well traveled

Although they are too young to vote for him, Oak Hall Episcopal School students have deemed Rep. Tom Cole to be “cool.”
The Republican Congressman from Moore visited the school Monday while in the area for a town hall meeting Monday night. After a tour of the building, he took questions from fifth- through eighth-graders. Cole also gave the school a United States flag that flew over the Capitol on Aug. 1.
“It’s cool he took time out of his day to come talk to us,” said sixth-grader Claire Panova.
Before the Congressman’s visit, teachers briefed the students on some of the education-related issues on which Congress works, and encouraged students to develop their own questions to ask.
“I learned more than I thought I would,” said sixth-grader Parker Garrett. “I thought it would be more about education, but I learned where he lived and that the job is harder than I thought it would be.”
