A group of 41 juniors recently returned from a long-awaited trip to Washington, D.C. and Gettysburg after their eighth-grade trip to our nation’s capital was postponed due to COVID-19.
Students visited the National Museum of the Marine Corps and National Army Museum as well as Arlington National Cemetery, where they viewed the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. They also made stops at the Martin Luther King, Jr., Franklin Delano Roosevelt and took a time out for a photo opportunity in front of the White House. The trip wrapped up with tours of the Library of Congress and Supreme Court, Natural and American History Museums, and the Lincoln, Korean, Vietnam, and World War II Memorials.
Students had a great time and gained a new appreciation for our country’s history.
