Obama at SEED!

Last Monday the President and a bunch of other big wigs came to my school. Obama used the school as the setting to sign the Ted Kennedy Serve America Act, which among other things tripled the size of Americorps. A friend and fellow teacher describes it much better than I do in his Huffington Post article (not too long and there are some pictures). I did get to greet and shake the hands of Mr. President and Bill Clinton...I missed Michelle and Biden, they were too busy hugging my kids. The event was very exciting on many levels, but I had just taught about the President and his options about signing bills so the timing couldn't have been better. As Dan Brown says in his article "Inspiration matters" and I couldn't agree more.
