Mrs. Schmidt Goes to Washington - Day Four - WOW!

No words can adequately describe this week in Washington, D.C. !  So honored to represent the teachers of Maquoketa and Iowa!  Would not be here without their support!
Thanks, Iowa!
On Day Four, we woke up knowing this was THE DAY!  Just an ordinary day! Just an ordinary day for a group of teachers from across our nation to  head to the Executive Office Building for a round table discussion on the direction of education in our country, then a stroll to the White House, a short visit with the President, and a group photo in the East Room.  Just an ordinary day?  Wow! Wow! Wow!
