We will be conducting an intruder drill today. Students will be out of the building at some point, but there is no need to be alarmed, as this is just a drill.

Day 5: Started the day out at the Washington Monument. Our tour guide had our tickets ready and we didn't wait very long in line. What a view of the city from 500 feet above ground level. Our group then moved to the National Archives were we got to see the Magna Carta (The Great Charter), The Declaration of Independence, the US Consitution, and the Bill of Rights. These are the most foundational documents of our republic. What a great experience. Before flying home, we also visited the Library of Congress. The beauty in the architecture is second to none. We could view the reading room and Thomas Jefferson's personal library which was sold the US government to replace the collection that was burned by the British in 1812.
Baseball changes for tomorrow, March 25th. ⚾️
Day 3: Action packed with stops at the US Holocaust Memorial, Ford's Theatre, Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, FDR Memorial, and Thomas Jefferson Memorial at the Tidal Basin. These were all super moving tributes to some of the best of us. "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere, We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garme nt of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly." Martin Luther King Jr. - Alabama, 1963
Day 4: The day started with a tour of the US Capitol. The Rotunda was beautiful and full of our shared history. We followed that up with a visit to the Supreme Court. We didn't get to go in because they were in session on that day. Witnessed a group of people at a peaceful rally discussing copyright law. We also saw the Fox News Supreme Court correspondent getting ready for a live report. Next up was a trip to the Smithsonian Natural History Museum where we saw the Hope Diamond as well as the Selenite Crystal from The Great Salt Plains salt flats. We finished the day with a meal at the Yardhouse in Chinatown.
