Thanksgiving In Washington D.C.

During the week of Thanksgiving, the Hobart Shakespeareans spent eight days in Washington D.C. and Pennsylvania.

They learned about American government and the history of their country. From Independence Hall to Gettysburg to the Capitol Building, the children had an experience they will never forget.
