It’s Time To Redecorate Your School!

FirstLadyAnnouncesPortraitOfLeadershipProgramAs bulletin boards get refreshed and schools are squeaky cleaned, why not redecorate your main entrance or library? We can help! Mount Vernon is pleased to be distributing beautiful oil portraits of George Washington by Rembrandt Peale, accompanied by our Celebration Kit featuring a flag flown over Mount Vernon and teaching resources, for FREE to any school that would like one. Just have your principal send us a request on letterhead with the school’s street address, where the painting will hang, and a contact email address. What a fabulous way to start the school year! Check out our Portrait Map on the right hand side of this page to see other schools that have already received their portraits. And yes, that is former First Lady Laura Bush presenting the very first portrait in the picture above.

    What an amazing and generous offer! Now, if I can just help my principal find a moment to write the letter!
    Thank you, Mount Vernon, for consistently providing such tremendous support and resources for educators and learners.

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.
