Mr. Chung, Mrs. Brinkman, Mrs. FitzPatrick and I proudly accepted the 2017 National Blue Ribbon Award, along with 341 other schools. This event was held in Washington D.C. I felt honored to be part of the committee who wrote the application last spring and later was selected (randomly) to travel to D.C. to receive the award. The four of us also toured monuments, memorials and Smithsonian museums during our visit.
