Governor stuck in Dimmitt MS hallway during passing period

Governor Christine Gregoire visited Dimmitt Middle School as part of a public relations tour to promote Washington in a federal grant competition.

The visit was a few minutes behind schedule. After a classroom visit, we left the classroom to be surprised by a bell that flooded the hallway with students, all eager to shake her hand.

Below are a few images I got from the event. I set me ISO at 800 to accommodate low lights and a lens with a 4.0 aperture, which is why the photos are so grainy.
