Sixty fourth grade students from Woodlin Elementary School in Silver Spring visited Annapolis to learn about the history of Maryland, and were able to spend 30 minutes with Maryland Governor Wes Moore during their visit to the State House.
Per the MCPS Staff Bulletin, Governor Moore “enthusiastically shared his responsibilities as governor, his family’s journey as immigrants from Cuba and Jamaica, and answered questions from students. He even signed autographs! The students were truly inspired by his story and his knowledge of the U.S. government.”
Also during the visit, students toured downtown Annapolis to learn about its significance during colonial times and resources the port provided for settlers. They ended the trip with a boat ride, where they learned about the Chesapeake Bay, its vast resources and the naval academy.
