Malinowski Reads To Basking Ridge 2nd Grade Class

BASKING RIDGE, NJ — Second graders at Mount Prospect School in Basking Ridge had a special visit from Congressman Tom Malinowski (D-7) on Tuesday.

Malinowski read the famous children’s book "Duck for President" to Sheri Jakubowsk's second grade class and then answered questions from every student.

Questions revealed that Malinowski’s favorite ice cream is raspberry and he cheers for the New York Giants and Yankees. His favorite activity when he was a child was trick or treating and his favorite president was Abraham Lincoln.

Jakubowsk's class challenged Malinowski to name all the U.S. Presidents, which he did and in order.

"In honor of Congressman Malinowski’s visit (knowing he is Polish), the class sang the Polish song, 'Sto Lat,' which means 'May you live 100 years.' " Jakubowski said. "Congressman Malinowski was so impressed by this, he asked the class to sing it again so he can video tape it and send it to his mother!"
