Secretary Riley's America Goes Back To School bus tour, the Success Express, completed its journey at the Museum of American Quilters Society in Paducah, Kentucky. Kentucky public school children greeted Secretary Riley at the Quilt Museum and displayed a quilt they pieced together from their own drawings of the book character Clifford. At the event, Secretary Riley provided some reflections on what he learned while visiting schools and meeting with community leaders during his Success Express bus tour. Riley reminded everyone that better public education is the key to America's future. "You and I should be proud of our public schools," he said.
