Hoffman Middle School Teacher Visits White House

Disponible en:

Jeremy Wooldridge, humanities teacher at Hoffman Middle School, vacationed in Washington, D.C. this summer. Wooldridge visited several notable places such as the Capitol, Library of Congress, and other well-known monuments. What he didn’t expect was the surprise invitation he received to attend the Congressional Baseball Game held at Nationals Park on June 29, 2012.

Congressman Joe Barton invited Wooldridge to the game. Democratic and Republican representatives, wearing baseball shirts from the professional teams in their districts, played baseball with the score ending in the Democrats’ favor. While at the game, Wooldridge met the Speaker of the House, John Boehner. Wooldridge also had a private meeting with a White House staff member and received a private tour of the West Wing and Rose Garden. Unfortunately, he was unable to take pictures. But Wooldridge will never forget his summer vacation at the nation’s capitol. And he is even more excited to share his experiences with his eighth grade students at Hoffman this fall.
