Senior Lauren Culver and teacher Cass Didier recently returned from a week in Philadelphia, where they were selected to participate in the “Young People's Continental Congress” with 26 other student/teacher teams from around the country. These teams explored our nation’s founding era, and we continue to debate and refine our ideals 250 years later.
From Lauren on her takeaway from this experience: "This experience has been an incredible honor. To learn from professors and my other delegates, all while still being able to converse and share my opinion, has been eye-opening! I will be coming back with not just more knowledge, but a wider appreciation of how history connects to young people today - that we can make a change."
Lauren’s favorite part of the program was talking with the people who helped fund this opportunity at Philadelphia’s City Hall. She really appreciated being able to have discussions with those at a much higher level, and for all parties to listen and learn from one another.
Didier’s favorite part was exploring the archives at the Philadelphia Historical Society, where they actually got to touch with bare hands one of George Washington’s Diaries and see annotations Jefferson left in a book he was reading.
