On Monday, April 17th, the 7th and 8th grade Jr. High students visited the Kansas state capitol.  They took a tour of the entire capitol, including a tour to the top of the dome under the statue of Ad Astra.  After the excellent review of Kansas history, they took a bus ride to the Governor's mansion and had a tour there.  They learned a fair amount of information that they hadn't known before, including a bit about the artwork on the walls in the mansion.  It was a very interesting day, and a great way to have fun but learn at the same time.
