8th Grade trip to Wash., DC

Over MEA break, a group of 194 eighth-grade students, from both Hidden Oaks and Twin Oaks Middle Schools, visited our Nation’s capital.  The students experienced history first-hand!  Students visited many historical places, including Arlington National Cemetery, Jamestown, Williamsburg, Mount Vernon, various Smithsonian Museums, many of the monuments on the National Mall, and the Holocaust Museum.  Students came away from the trip with a better understanding of American history as well as a great introduction to our Nation’s capital. 

Already looking forward to next year’s trip, the advisors have provided the current seventh graders with the opportunity to attend an informational meeting on November 15^th during the school day.  There will also be a parent information meeting on November 15^th at 6:00 p.m. at Twin Oaks Middle School. Please visit the trip website for more information: visit your school’s webpage, select “Activities,” select “Washington D.C. Trip,” select “8^th Grade Washington D.C. Trip” from the left-hand menu.
