A group of students and chaperones from the Ferguson-Florissant School District took a journey they'll never forget when they attended the inauguration of President Obama this week.

The group, which included 36 students and eight adults from McCluer South, took a chartered bus to the event after holding numerous fundraisers oer the past year in order to be able to attend the inauguration.

β€œIt was really quite an effort by this teacher and his students to raise money for this trip,” said Jana Shortt, Ferguson-Florissant’s director of communications.
