The Beaufort Academy third graders recently toured the SC Statehouse to supplement their curriculum on South Carolina history. During the tour, they were invited to view the House of Representatives by Rep. Shannon Erickson of Beaufort since it was in session. Rep. Erickson introduced the class to the House of Representatives and discussed what she does and how the House is run. The group took part in a guided tour to learn about the history of the Statehouse, then they viewed the chambers. Pictured above are the BA third graders, their teacher Mrs. Aivaz and Rep. Shannon Erickson on the steps of the Statehouse in Columbia, SC.
