George Washington Summer Institute Applications
The George Washington Summer Institute applications are now available at the Oklahoma State Department of Education website. Go to: teachers, social studies and you will be able to download the application. Make sure to follow the directions EXACTLY on the application. The institute is held in the summer at Mount Vernon. If you are selected, you will fly to Washington, D. C., and spend almost a week living on the grounds of George Washington’s beloved Mount Vernon. The attendees will meet renowned historians such as Joseph Ellis and David McCullough and, perhaps, meet media personalities such as Cokie Roberts. Martha Washington will probably meet and greet you and David Hildebrand will play melodious melodies on a harpsichord. You will be wined and dined throughout the event. The group will have a private tour through the mansion (maybe even venture up into the cupola), the grist mill and the distillery. Truly the attendees will feel like they have stepped back in time and are guests of our First President and Lady Washington. If you have any questions, please contact me, Jan McClaren.
