Downtown Campus eighth-graders recently returned to campus from a three-day overnight visit to Washington, DC.
Led by the eighth-grade team, students trekked around the capital city making connections with the curriculum. On the first day, students enjoyed lunch at the Ronald Reagan building followed by a visit to the National Museum of African American History and Culture. That evening, students toured the many monuments during a guided tour led by Mr. Walp.
On day two, students spent the morning visiting the National Zoo followed by walking tours to places along the National Mall, including the Natural History Museum, the National Museum of American History, and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. They completed the day with some mini golf and arcade fun at Monster Mini Golf.
The third and final day the group traveled to the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center of the National Air and Space Museum before having lunch and departing for Moravian.
Overall, a good experience was had by all. Everyone returned to the Lehigh Valley exhausted but full of stories and new learning experiences to share.
