What a great 3 group, they have about 27 in the class and they had many great questions for the mayors.

It is a great opportunity and it is also the 50� Anniversary for the event. I also wondered if F/Pal or staff might get involved and possibly work some arrangement to get some middle school children to attend this event and hear the Michael Oher story.
