In July 2009 one of our seniors, Daniel Steinbach, participated in the American Association of Christian Schools 15th Annual Youth Legislative Training Conference in Washington DC.  Daniel received a full scholarship for the conference. 

The week’s activities included a Congressional briefing in the U.S. Capitol in which five Representatives and one Senator addressed the students.  Later in the day students were addressed by Rep. Michelle Bachmann (MN-6th) before receiving a private tour of the U.S. Capitol by Rep. Randy Forbes (VA-4th).  Both Bachmann and Forbes are ardent defenders of Christian liberties, and they conveyed the prominence of their personal faith very effectively.

The week’s activities ended at Arlington National Cemetery where four students were given the opportunity to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on behalf of AACS.
