Field Trip-Tuesday, November 3rd – White House, Congress and the Supreme Court
*Only families preregistered may attend with Raw Learning.  Winter Trimester field trips will be available to register for in December.
I will be calling Zack Agee again tomorrow to see if there is any news on our ability to visit the White House. I will let you know if we are granted a tour and the new deadline for providing the required information to Zack. If we are not granted a tour, we will still go to DC and tour the US Mint, instead of the White House.
