8th Grade Washington DC Trip
8th graders went on a trip to Washington, DC April 30 - May 2.
They had the opportunity to witness firsthand iconic landmarks such as the White House, Washington Monument, and the US Capitol. Highlights of the trip include a visit to George Washington’s home in Mount Vernon, Virginia, and the newly opened The People’s House: A White House Experience. Students enjoyed a walking tour of monuments and memorials dedicated to significant people and events, including: Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, Korean War Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, World War II Memorial, Vietnam Memorial, and the Washington Monument.
Hopefully this trip provided students with a deeper understanding and appreciation of the nation's heritage and the workings of its government.
