Capitol Tour

Students toured the Capitol yesterday morning. We had a very busy day! The Police Memorial special event was held at the Capitol and Vice-President Joe Biden was the speaker. We didn't get to see this, but it affected how easy it was for us to get around touring Capitol Hill. We walked even more than normal with less "down" time than ever - so I apologize these postings are delayed.
