You are Invited to Educator’s Evening!

One of our most popular programs for teachers is the annual Educator’s Evening at Mount Vernon, where teachers are invited to a Cocktail Reception and Candlelight Tour of George Washington’s home. This year, we are extending the invitation to our George Washington Wired readers!

The tour and reception will be followed by remarks from William M. Fowler, Jr., Distinguished Professor of History at Northeastern University and the Massachusetts Society of the Cincinnati George Washington Distinguished Professor. In addition to refreshments and tours, attending teachers will enjoy a 10% discount at The Shops at Mount Vernon, just in time for holiday shopping! Educator’s Evening is on Tuesday, December 2, 2008, 5:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and reservations are required. RSVP by emailing Education@MountVernon.org or calling 703-799-8604.

Portraits in Schools

Kids holding George Washington Portrait

Mount Vernon recently invited K-12 schools nationwide to request framed portraits of George Washington to display in a respectful, prominent place.

The response was overwhelming: thousands of schools submitted letters! Along with the portrait, schools received curriculum materials to help explore our first president’s contributions.
