31 Days Until Close Up!

In four weeks we will head in to Manhattan to get on the bus that will take us to Washington D.C. for our week spent participating in the Close Up Program for New Americans. This is a description of the program from Close Up's website:

"Close Up’s Program for New Americans (PNA) is built on the belief that textbooks and lectures alone are not enough to help students understand responsible citizenship. The PNA program gives recently immigrated high school students the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to become informed and active citizens of the United States. Close Up’s PNA program is more than just a tour of the well-known memorials and monuments of our nation’s capital. It gives students a practical understanding of U.S. politics and culture by emphasizing communication, collaboration, and leadership. Our hands-on, interactive approach allows all students to get involved and have a voice in issues important to them."
