2B had a fantastic day "camping out"!! Thanks to all the parents who donated to our campout!!
Last day in D.C. for our 8th graders. Stops included the House of Representatives in the Capitol Building, Ford's Theater, and the Peterson house. We were fortunate the House was in session, and we were able to experience lobbying in action on the floor. No pictures were allowed to be taken in the House of Representatives. Then we said our goodbyes to our awesome course leader, Coach Earley. He shared a wealth of knowledge with our group!
MGS celebrated our track athletes headed to the IESA State Track Meet starting tomorrow. Best of luck to all our athletes! We are Redbirds!!!
