Teacher Going to White House

BY TAYLOR B., ALLISON D., and PAYTON M.

Mrs. Fawley, a seventh grade civics teacher at JFH, has been invited to the White House to decorate for Christmas! And she has a plan to meet Mr. Obama himself.

Mrs. Fawley said she is very excited and that this is “one of those once-in-a-lifetime chances.”

She will travel to D.C on Thursday, November 26. She will then work in a warehouse for three days to prepare decorations and then go to the White House for two days.

While she is there she hopes to meet the president. Apparently he likes the Duke Blue Devils, so she is going to wear her Duke Blue Devils shirt (which is also Mrs. Fawley's favorite basketball team). She is hoping that he will come over and talk to her about basketball.

“If that doesn’t work,” she said, “his right hand man [Reggie Love] likes Duke and I know he will come over and talk to me.”

Mrs. Fawley will be accompanied by two of her best friends, Mrs. Pierce, and Mrs. Didawick.
