happy presidents day! February 18, 2013
MB Hubbard Elementary was the recent recipient of two amazing gifts from Mount Vernon's educational center. We are one of the select few schools in the country to receive a flag that was flown over George Washington's mansion, Mount Vernon. In addition, we received a portrait that will be forever displayed in the media center. Our students have left their mark on Hubbard and will always be remembered as the class who made this possible.
We celebrate on February 19th, but raising the flag and revealing the portrait.
