Moffat was fortunate enough to visit Mount Vernon recently with Manager of Educational Resources and Outreach, Zerah Jakub.  On his tour, Moffat enjoyed some VIP treatment.  His photographs were an inspiration for my students to take a closer look at the architecture, gardens and fashion of the time.  Keep an eye out for upcoming posts inspired by his visit.  Please click on the link below to learn more about Martha from Mount Vernon.

This past week, our fifth grade students were fortunate enough to spend the afternoon with Mike and Sharon Guli of Guli Productions.  Mike and Sharon are experts on period clothing and are captivating in the classroom with students presenting period dress and etiquette.
