We have arrived at the Co-op Live to see President Barack Obama! We asked for a closer look at the stage and ended up with a VIP escort right to the front to see where the former President will be speaking! On the way to our seats, other guests were stopping our students to ask about their winning speeches! 🇺🇸🎤
