Last Session of 2008 After School Program

After reviewing the results of our acid rain experiment, we had a discussion about whether or not schools should be closed for the Inauguration. Students were divided -- most had not realized the day would have to be made up at the end of the year. Some felt that the inauguration of Barack Obama as the forty-fourth president was an event of such historical significance that schools should close; others that since he had not done anything yet, other than get elected, and since one never knows about a president's term without the luxury of hindsight, schools should not be closed. We completed the 2008 after school program by celebrating the perfect attendance of nearly 25% of students in the FSK-Calvert Partnership.
