Michael Chiavetta !!!!!!
In only a few days, dozens of Modesto-area students will witness a landmark in our nation's history. Either through their schools or other organizations, the students are going to Washington for the presidential inauguration. Groups from Johansen and Modesto high schools will attend. Mike Chiavetta, history teacher from Modesto High and leader of that school's trip, said it will last for seven days, from Saturday to Jan. 23. Along with the inauguration, the group of around 40 students and chaperones also will tour many of the monuments and landmarks around Washington. "I was motivated by last year's sophomores and this year's juniors to go," Chiavetta said. "It's a lot of work, but a lot of fun." |
