Today, after a focused morning of current events, math, and history, we took a brisk walk, wolfed down lunch then went to BSU to see a student display of the Berlin Wall in the quad. We discussed the significance and Alexander (from Germany) translated the graffiti written on the Wall. The students got "some" sense of the impact that the Wall had on Germany, the people of Berlin, communism, and the world.
Then we parked near the capitol and read the names of the fallen soldiers on the flags.
We then went to the second floor courtroom of the Borah Building and sat with representatives from other nonprofits in the Treasure Valley.
The governor entered and read a proclamation recognizing the week of November 8-12 as "Non-Profit Awareness Week for the State of Idaho."
After the formalities, I lined up our students and the Governor posed for a photo with them. He shook each students' hand and encouraged them to continue their education.
THEN! We went to Fancy Freeze for ice cream and sat in the sun enjoying a beautiful Fall day.
Returning to the school, the students cleaned and then played basketball.
It was another awesome day at Sheridan.
