What children learn in Level 47
- A mayor is the leader of a city or town. Voters who live in the city choose their mayor.
- The mayor works at city hall, with the city council, a group of people who help make rules for the city.
- The city government takes care of things you use every day: parks, streets, water, and trash pickup. It makes sure the city has police officers and firefighters.
- Every city has its own mayor. The Mayor of Atlanta works at Atlanta City Hall, just down the street from the State Capitol.
- Try it with a grown-up! Find out who your mayor is, and where your city hall is.
