We had a special visitor at school today. The First Lady, Laura Bush, came to visit our classes as part of our Blue Ribbon celebration year. This is the last school visit she'll make as First Lady and she was wonderful. She's just as warm and gracious as she seems. The books on the cart are from her personal collection and she inscribed each of them for our school library.

Security was amazing and the kids really enjoyed watching the Secret Service sweep the school yesterday and today - especially when they brought in the dogs! I was able to get a special security tag to be allowed to take photos (our custodian had a tag too to be allowed to access places in the building. He and I had fun teasing the rest of the faculty about our super-secret positions!)
Mrs. Bush first addressed Grades 8 in the School Hall (my pictures from that are still at school) and then went up to the Music Room where the little ones sang to her. She was so wonderful with them and was the one who suggested a group photo with the teachers and kids.
It was a wonderful experience that I sure hope they'll remember.
What an opportunity for our school!
