Thanks to Mrs. Brake for taking these awesome pictures!  You rock!!!

Our 8th grade students went to Washington D.C. last week to experience American history first hand. 

They stopped at Gettysburg, PA on the way to Washington D.C. to visit the National Military Park.  They visited the National Archives; The White House and the Capital; the Washington Monument; Lincoln, Jefferson and FDR Memorials; Mt. Vernon (George Washington’s home); Arlington National Cemetery (changing of the guard); Vietnam, Korean and WWII Memorials; and the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts!  

The pictures tell the story…
