PRESIDENTIAL NEWS OF THE DAY: President and Mrs. Bush spent the weekend at the White House where they hosted GWB's parents. The family attended St. John's Episcopal Church this morning before the President went for a mountain bike ride.
Throughout his term, President Bush has sought to break down barriers that have prevented religion-based charities from using government funds. His $15 billion effort to fight AIDS has handed out nearly one-quarter of its grants to religious groups, and officials are aggressively pursuing new church partners that often emphasize disease prevention through abstinence and fidelity over condom use.

Jenna teaches at a charter school in DC. I'm not exactly sure which grade - I think it's 3rd.
Both girls are doing good things, IMO. Laura and George have a right to be proud.
