Fort Bend Becomes Part of History at the 2017 Presidential Inauguration

---

Fort Bend residents turned out in force for the 2017 Presidential Inauguration on Friday, January 20th and its surrounding events. The peaceful transfer of power that has occurred on every United States Inauguration Day is a hallmark of our country’s democracy. From the Vice President’s and President’s Swearing-In Ceremonies to the Inaugural Address to the Texas Black Tie & Boots Ball, Fort Bend students and adults were there to witness history as Donald J. Trump took the oath of office to formally become the 45th President of the United States of America.

A group of over 70 students, teachers and parent and grandparent chaperones from Fort Bend ISD’s Baines Middle School made the trek to Washington D.C. Their four-day journey was filled with visits to the Washington Monument, the White House, Arlington National Cemetery, Ford’s Theater, the National Mall, National Air and Space Museum, National Museum of Natural History and many memorials: Einstein, Vietnam War, Lincoln, Korean War, World War II, Martin Luther King Jr., Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Iwo Jima and Pentagon 9/11.
