SAINTS INVADE D.C. Obama Inauguration
Xavier’s little politicians made a trip to the Capital for the Presidential Inauguration. The Saints spiced up D.C. by doing the “roller coaster” on the steps of the Lincoln Monument. Memories were made and history was honored throughout the trip.

“At first, I was stressed “I’ve never had so much with the planningfun and laughed so hard we went to see the in three days. My favorite inauguration, but it was parts were Brian the bus important for me that the driver, dressing up each day, kids experienced the city. seeing the Lincoln Memorial, I’d been to Washington and ice skating.” before, so the sights weren’t new for me. Seeing it through their eyes was worth it. I loved watching them make memories.”

“I didn’t think there would be as many people visiting the monuments, and when I saw the crowd at the inauguration, I was totally surprised. It was cool that so many people had come together for one purpose.”

“All the memorials we visited were powerful, especially the MLK memorial because it had his MLK quotes on a wall next to the monument. I didn’t realize how great of an asset he was to our country until then.”
“We liked hanging out with Nicole, a girl we met while she was dancing at the ice rink, visiting the Lincoln Memorial at night and hanging out in our cray room every night.”
