The Prudential honorees also participated in a community service project at Montgomery Elementary School in Washington DC. They all read to the children there and donated books. As is typical with volunteer service, this experience was one of the highlights of the trip.
My daughter was asked to speak to the audience there about her literacy service project, and two elementary students there were honored for their own volunteer service.
After lunch at Hard Rock Cafe, all the honorees gathered on the Capitol steps for a group photo.
