We're Lily and Nathan McCauley, the dynamic duo from Selma Middle School and we're on a mission to storm Washington D.C. - but with less treason and more sightseeing! Our school's trip to the capital is the highlight of the year, promising adventures like dodging pigeons at the Lincoln Memorial, trying (and failing) to understand the art at the Smithsonian, and hopefully not getting lost in the maze of the Capitol Building.

Here's the catch - our piggy banks are more like piggy shells at this point. We need your help to fund the rest of our journey into the heart of democracy (and by democracy, we mean the nearest pizza place after a long day of "learning").

Your donation will help cover our travel, lodging, meals, and maybe, just maybe, a souvenir hat to prove we were there. Let's make this trip happen so we can come back with stories, selfies, and a newfound appreciation for history (or at least, for free museum Wi-Fi).

Thanks for helping us fund our educational escapade!
