Saturday we had our MN state packet workshop. We all had a great time learning about the national project Liberty's Legacy and MN state project Democracy Jr. as well as touring the beautiful MN state Capitol, trying our hands at some Revolutionary War era spy tactics for coding/decoding messages and making cards for veterans as a service project.
