Close Up is a non-partisan civic education organization that has operated programs in DC for 50 years. BBA students learned about current policy, history, participated in a mock-Congress, and spent a day on Capitol Hill discussing issues they care about with our leaders. Students and families interested in the program for next year should reach out to social studies teacher Jillian Joyce (jjoyce@burrburton.org) to learn more and sign up!
