Learn How 6 Kids Got to the White House

Six young Americans began their journey to yesterday's White House Easter Egg Roll by writing letters to the President.

Every day, the President reads 10 letters from Americans all across the country and takes time to write some of these letter-writers back. Jordan, Jaylon, Rodney, Sofia, Zach, and Annikah are students who not only received a response from the President, but also got an invite to this year's Easter Egg Roll.

Meet these six special guests and read their letters to the President.
