Our Leadership Committee and several Juniors took a field trip last month to the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum last month. There, they took part in Project Solarium, where they had to work together to develop and critique strategies for confronting the expansion of Soviet influence in the 1950s. It was a fun and educational trip! Thanks to the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum for hosting us! #ifnotnowwhen @@usd265_goddard
