Washington Takes Center Stage
It was one of those crisp autumn mornings where the air had a little “snap” to it and the leaden sky appeared as a backdrop to the theatrical splashes of colorful fall foliage. I traveled to Peters Elementary to present the George Washington Portrait to their school. Their friendly librarian, Kay Leslie, greeted me with enthusiasm. Kay attended the George Washington Summer Institute this past summer. Her Mount Vernon photographs and Washington memorabilia were evident throughout her office. Mrs. Leslie is planning on rearranging part of the library, so our first president will take center stage. The General always had a stage presence!

It is so wonderful to have the George Washington Teachers' Institute attendees bring their enthusiasm back to Oklahoma!(Yea Kay!) We hope more schools in Oklahoma order this beautiful Portrait - for FREE! (http://www.mountvernon.org/files/Principal_Request%20Letter.pdf)
And -- it is a perfect opportunity to have Jan McClaren share her wonderful, creative programs!
