today

8th Graders in DC began Thursday with a peaceful but chilly boat ride to Mount Vernon, where the students had the opportunity to explore George Washington's iconic estate. They spent several hours learning about the history and legacy of our first president, which was both educational and inspiring. The remainder of the day was dedicated to the Museum of the Bible. The exhibits provided a fascinating look into the historical and cultural significance of the Bible, and the students were thoroughly engaged. They spent the evening at Pinstripes in Georgetown, where everyone enjoyed a well-deserved dinner and had a great time bowling. #ExcellenceInKnowledge #StrengthInFaith #8thGrade #DCTrip

Day three of the 8th Grade DC Trip began with a somber visit to the Pentagon 9/11 Memorial, where everyone took a moment to honor and remember the lives lost in this tragic event. They then proceeded to the Iwo Jima Memorial. The journey continued to the Capitol Building, where they were given a comprehensive tour that included insights into the legislative process and the history of this iconic structure. Thanks to the generosity of Vern Buchanan's office, they were granted special passes to the House of Representatives Gallery. They also had the rare opportunity to visit the Senate Gallery. A very special thanks to Mike Jackson for arranging this memorable experience. The afternoon was dedicated to exploring the Smithsonian museums around the National Mall. As the day drew to a close, they enjoyed a delightful dinner at National Harbor, followed by a scenic ride on the Capital Wheel. The highlight of the evening was a surprise dance organized for the students! #ExcellenceInKnowledge #CharacterInService #8thGrade #DCTrip
