D.C.+Trip

=About the Washington, D.C. Trip=

We are lucky that our principal believes that all Lincoln 8th grades should have the opportunity to visit D.C. every year. The trip is fun and supports the curriculum. Our principal has led school trips to D.C. for 13 years, and she also grew up there. Our students couldn't have a better guide.

The inaugural trip is in the spring of 2011. The students are flying down there and staying on the campus of George Washington University. They are visiting several Smithsonian museums, the Newseum, and will also enjoy a play. They will be chaperoned by teachers and will be really busy all day long. This is a milestone event for these children, and we're proud that our school is starting a Washington, D.C. trip tradition.

This trip takes up the bulk of the fundraising efforts. The funds we raise bring down the per student cost. Scholarships are available. Each students has a personal responsibility to raise $100 to contribute to the cost of their trip.
