Washington Fever is Spreading
The George Washington Teacher Summer Institute has started a rippling effect that impacts students beyond the Social Studies Classroom. One of last summer’s Oklahoma Attendees, Lee Ann Harrelson, was so enthusiastic about her stay at Mount Vernon that she has impressed upon her classes the importance of our first president. Her student, Kim Harms, recently won first place in the district contest of the American Farmers & Ranchers Leadership Speech Contest. The title of her speech was George Washington-America’s Greatest Leader. Her Agriculture teacher, who helped in the process, is Ms. Wendy Slusser. Mount Vernon gets very excited when others catch “Washington Fever!”
