\"IMG_0775cropped\"<\/a>Representing the 7th District of Virginia, U.S. Congressman Dave Brat visited Maggie Walker Governor’s School on Wednesday, March 11th.\u00a0 During his time at MLWGS, the Congressman met with Dr. Jeff McGee – Director, discussed issues with students from EduPac, and visited both Mr. McGuire’s AP Comparative Government class and Dr. Oreska’s AP Econ class during 3rd period where he observed classroom discussion and\/or projects, followed by a question period from students.<\/p>\n

Congressman Brat concluded his visit with lunch in the board room alongside students from \u2018We the People\u2019 and their sponsor Mr. Ulmschneider, Dr. McGee, Mr. McGuire, Dr. Oreska, students from Model Congress, YRC and EduPac, and Mrs. Laura O\u2019Brien from the PTSA Advocacy Committee. During their luncheon, the Congressman was open to any question students wanted to ask, and many did, inquiring about topics as far ranging as the preservation of antiquities in Iraq to the Congressman\u2019s housing in DC.\u00a0 Congressman Brat was impressed with MLWGS student knowledge and awareness of current events, remarking “you’re\u00a0like graduate students!”<\/p>\n

Thank you Congressman Brat for sharing your time and expertise with the students of Maggie Walker Governor\u2019s School.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
