You can view the map at http://goo.gl/BIl4H and the club’s website at http://goo.gl/JNgLH.  The sixth grade humanities department would like to congratulate the founding members of the Deal TAGS DC club for their commitment to the project throughout the entire school year: Carl Morison, Ernesto Fritts, Lauryn Donahue, Fiona Lynch, Shiva Steele, Isaac Boris, Sierra Lewter, and Ricardo Lindo.  Keep exploring!
