Pine Point Students talk with Congressman Joe Courtney about government shutdown

Pine PointPine Point's 8th grade visited the Norwich office of United States Congressman Joe Courtney (D-2 CT) this morning. The class is directly impacted by the government shutdown -- students would otherwise be in Washington, DC, at this very moment on their much-anticipated field trip to which they've devoted many hours of preparation. Students delivered letters expressing their disappointment to Courtney and spoke with him via Skype.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jfl2j3BWJis&noredirect=1
