Hello AP'ers. As I mentioned in the email I sent you all, our President will be addressing the nations' students today (Tuesday September 8) via a web broadcast. Here is the information about the speech, taken directly from the White House's site: (notice the embedded SOAPS in this short paragraph)
"THE PRESIDENT'S BACK-TO-SCHOOL MESSAGE TO AMERICA'S STUDENTS
Help get America’s students engaged! On Tuesday, September 8 — the first day of school for many students — the President will talk directly to students across the country on the importance of taking responsibility for their education, challenging them to set goals and do everything they can to succeed. We want to make sure that as many schools and classrooms nationwide can participate in this special opportunity, so we are making the President’s address and all the information that comes with it available as widely as possible. Whether you are a teacher, a school board member, or a member of the media, find information below to help you watch and be engaged with the President in welcoming our students back to school."For extra credit:
