SSPP Trivia
When our school was founded in 1853....
 
....if the 8th graders went to Washington DC for their class trip, they would not have been able to visit the Washington Monument's observation deck. Although construction on the obelisk began in 1848, it was left unfinished in 1856 due to a lack of funds, political turmoil, and uncertainty about the survival of the American Union due to the Civil War. Construction resumed in 1876 and was completed in 1884.
