8th Grade Trip to Washington DC/New York Interview

        A while ago, Miss Berry, the teacher in charge of the 8th grade trip to Washington D.C. and New York, was interviewed. I found out that the 8th graders couldn’t wait to go see both towns. Also, I was told that there are two parts of the trip. The first half of it will take place in Washington D.C. and the second half will take place in New York. The cost to cover all necessary things is around $2000.

        In Washington D.C. the 8th graders will visit: The White House, the Capitol Building, Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, Korean War Memorial, Ford Theatre, Peterson House, Mount Vernon, Supreme Court, Library of Congress, and so on. However, in New York they will visit: Empire State Building, Central Park, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Statue of Liberty, Ellis island, Chinatown, and so on.

        The trip will take place during spring break on 2009 Sunday April 5th- Friday April 10th. In order to be able to go on the trip, students must show good behavior throughout the entire year. This means grades don’t count, behavior does. The airlines that will be taken are Delta, United or American airlines. The 8th graders will stay at hotels such as Hiton, Hyatt and others.

        This trip is sponsored to teach 8th graders about very important historical events, that happened in Washington D.C. and New York. The 8th graders all really would like to go on the trip as well as the teachers and chaperons.
