RES students visit Washington

Fifth grade students from Russellville have their photo taken in the lobby of the United States Capitol. Students visited their congressman, Robert Aderholt, during a recent visit to the nation’s capital.

Some fifth graders from Russellville recently visited the capitol and got to meet with the Congressman.

There were 50 people on the tour and everyone really appreciated the time Congressman Aderholt spent with the students. Aderholt took up a great deal of time with the students and never seemed anxious to move on to his next duty or responsibility. He was very impressive.

Other sites the students visited during their trip included:

Mt. Vernon

Arlington with the Changing of the Guards

National Cathedral

Several Memorials: Jefferson, FDR, MLK, Lincoln, Korean, The Wall

Library of Congress

Air & Space Museum

American History Museum

Ford Theatre and the Peterson House

Baltimore Orioles vs. Toronto Bluejays game
