McVay May 2 - 6

I hope everyone enjoyed the American Village. It was a beautiful day and a fabulous learning experience.  Our students were so well behaved and participated appropriately. The students received an 'A' from "Mr. Wyeth" for beautifully reciting the Preamble at the Constitutional Convention!
