Just in time for Presidents’ weekend and holiday, Au Pairs from Westport, Wilton and Weston gathered at the Weston Library to learn about our American government, while at the same time making some new friends. Au Pairs teamed up to do a Democracy in the USA word search, then listened to a power point presentation about our 3 branches of government. They learned what each branch does, how many terms Senators, Representatives and the President can serve and what happens if a President dies or has to leave office early. In teams of 4/5, Au Pairs then worked together to complete a fun quiz on the information. Refreshments were provided. Prizes were awarded and everyone got a chance to meet some new friends.
