Mr. Tidey Visits White House for First Time

Hello everyone.  I sure miss having you all in class.  I am back from the East Coast Trip.  Mrs. Kitson, Mr. Marker, Mrs. Hahn and I visited the White House.  Here is a picture.  The trip was awesome and going through the White House was incredible.  I can't wait until you all can go with me in 8th grade.  Enjoy the rest of your summer.  See you in September.
