03-27-2013 80+ Elementary Students at West Prairie South

More than 80 second, third, and fourth grade students assembled this afternoon to be briefed on the Lewis and Clark trip that begins next Monday.

When I told them I have personally interviewed both Lewis and Clark, they quickly and unanimously challenged the truth of the statement.  Pretty sharp kids.

 

I really enjoyed visiting with them and seeing their enthusiasm.
