My grandson left this morning on a 4-day 8th grade trip to Washington, DC. [View all]
It's a full agenda every day; a whirlwind of government buildings, museums, and monuments including a stop at Gettysburg. Ummm, speaking of their daily itinerary, before the trip a student was chosen to participate in an essay contest for the honor of participating in a wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. My grandson will be doing the honors for his most excellent essay. Imagine that...what a great young man! I'm so proud.
