Is your Principal a Very Busy Person?

kidswithportrait.jpgSince we know how crazy things can get in the principal’s office at the beginning of the school year, we have decided to make lives easier! As you all know, your school can get a FREE oil painting of Rembrandt Peale’s “Porthole Portrait of George Washington” to hang in a highly visible place in your school building as well as our Celebration Kit chock full of lesson activities and a flag flown over Mount Vernon. All you had to do was have your principal write us a letter, right? Well now it’s even easier- print out the letter on this webpage, fill out the mailing and contact information, have your principal sign it, and drop it in the mail. Not to sound like an infomercial, but… How easy is that!?!

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.
