Michelle Obama brings daughters to D.C. to look at schools, says CNN Political Ticker. Man, am I mega jeal of LL (she’s an alumna):
A small motorcade was parked at the back entrance of Georgetown Day School on Monday afternoon, with a few Secret Service agents standing around. The motorcade left after a group of people emerged, but Michelle Obama was not seen among them.
When asked if Michelle Obama had visited the school that day, some parents and students said they did not know. Other students who appeared to be in middle school said that they were not allowed to answer reporters’ questions.
…Georgetown Day, founded in 1945, was an early pioneer in integration and prides itself on its diversity. A report posted on the school’s Web site says about 35 percent of its estimated 1,000
students are of color.
GDS sounds v. cool. Plus- their mascot is a grasshopper. I mean, SOLD!
DCist and Reliable Source provide coverage too. I love that this is something I can fixate on.

GDS is very cool and weird. I’ve got stories.
Go mighty hoppers! (Ridiculous, yes I know)

Ahh, I just realized that you linked the word “grasshopper” to when you ate grasshoppers. I can’t approve of that.
