And their fearless leader, Mr. B, is something special. Decatur Patch recently featured some great photos of them doing yard work community service on MLK Day. You will be very happy if you engage their services. Plus their trip to D.C. for “Close Up” is a well-chaperoned, exciting, participatory educational event that results in them knowing more about government than the average voting adult ever dreamed of knowing. I’ll bet you could even ask for pictures when the students actually go.

As an added bonus: Any student who spends time in Close Up is going to know how to say hello politely back to grownups on the street and not run amok in restaurants! It’s the modern day version of a cotillion/manners class!
