George Washington in the News

That is the title of February’s issue of Scholastic News, featuring Mount Vernon’s bronze statue of George Washington on the cover. The “news” about George Washington includes the discovery of his childhood home by archaeologists recently, as well as the analysis of a set of George Washington’s fake teeth that showed the materials included elephant tusk and gold! There is also an article about the forensic figures of George Washington in the new Reynolds Education Center here at Mount Vernon. The issue is a wonderful resource for elementary teachers- look for it in February!
