Touring Our Nation's Capital: A 10th Grade Experience!
Off to D.C.! Last week the 10th grade class, along with chaperones Charlie Wulff, James Ugland, Izzie Bell and a handful of parent volunteers loaded into a charter bus at 6 am Monday morning and were off on the 2nd Annual 10th grade trip to do and see all that our Nation’s capital has to offer.
The crew hit the ground running and did not stop until they reloaded the buses for home Saturday morning. The group visited sites such as the Marine Corp Museum, the Museum of the Bible, Arlington Cemetery, Pentagon Memorial and Mall, as well as the FDR, Jefferson, and MLK memorials, the Holocaust Museum, the National Archives, the White House, and the Lincoln, Washington, WWI and WWII memorials!!
For a rest evening, they were able to participate in a game and movie night at the hotel!
With so many places to visit, some areas stood out more to some than others.
“My favorite part has been the Museum of the Bible,” said Cokey Suddeth, “as well as getting closer with the grade! It’s fun to experience all these things with them.”
Will Perkins also enjoyed the Museum of the Bible. “I like how interactive it was!”
Greta Anderson loved being together as a class. "My favorite part was the fellowship on the bus rides!”
What a phenomenal opportunity for these students to be a part of such an incredible learning excursion.
