Young Washington02/23/2011 Our students in grades K-8 were treated to a lively look into the early life of our country’s founder George Washington with the CLO Gallery of Heroes performance Young Washington. The cast presented the challenges and adventure of dealing with the wilderness, French soldiers, and sometimes unfriendly Indians which Washington faced. The program highlighted his courage, resourcefulness , and leadership in helping our country first claim America for Britain and eventually achieve independence from British control. The students were amazed to learn the important part Western Pennsylvania played in Washington’s life. As a surveyor, he came to know the region well which became the site many of exploits, particularly his battles with the French over possession of Ft. Duquesne.
