My dear friends and co-workers at SFA- DYNAMIC PEOPLE!
The 8th graders have a moment of unity on their class trip to Washington, D.C.
The trip to D.C. started early Monday morning May 16th and ended fairly late Thursday night May 19th, but what a whirlwind of activities and experiences we all now share as a collective memory. Highlights of this trip include a visit to the White House and the Capitol building, the Smithsonian Museums of American History, Natural History, the Air and Space collection and the Holocaust Museum. On the base of the Lincoln Memorial the students presented Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech which was moving to everyone present at the memorial. The wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery brought tears to the eyes and reminded all of us of the price of freedom.
The just for fun part of the tour included a moonlight dinner dance and cruise down the Potomac River with other school groups and a trip to Baltimore to see the Orioles take on the New York Yankees at beautiful Camden Yards. The weather cooperated when we needed it to be dry. We really could not have asked for a more enjoyable trip.
I work with the most amazing group of teachers. The trip for the students would not have been possible without their help and support. I look forward to next year and more adventures in student travel.
