Angelus: Trono's Troopers at the Decatur House!

Trono’s Troopers filmed a movie at the Decatur House in Washington, D.C. A great time was had by all!

When Commodore Stephen Decatur, Jr., and his wife, Susan, moved to the new federal city in 1816, they purchased land on the northwest corner of the President’s Park (today Lafayette Square) with the prize money Decatur was awarded for his naval conquests in the War of 1812. The Decaturs commissioned Benjamin Henry Latrobe, America's first professional architect and engineer, to design a home "fit for entertaining." In Washington, Latrobe also designed St. John's Episcopal Church (better known as the President's Parish) and parts of the White House.

Built in 1818, Decatur’s home was the first private residence in the White House neighborhood. Thereafter known as Decatur House, it was a nearly square three-story town house constructed with red brick in the austere Federal fashion of the day.

Angelus: Field Day Fun 2011

All of the students thoroughly enjoyed Field Day at Fort Hunt Park! Mrs. Bruen planned plenty of fun activities for the children! The highlights were definitely the tug-o-war contests! Thank you Sheila!

But it was really, really hot! The teachers made sure the children drank plenty of water and rested in the shade from time to time! As always, Mrs. Figueroa was on hand to take care of all the boo-boos. Thank you Ruth!

We had a special visit from Mrs. Tovey and her daughter, Nora. After a delicious pizza lunch, came the greatly anticipated arrival of the ice cream man! YEAH! Ice cream for all! YUM!
