My Students

A pivotal moment in 50 students' education came last spring when students from my School's 7th grade class traveled to Washington D.C. It was a time of firsts. It was the first time most of the students traveled out of state without their parents. It was the first time they got to teach their teachers. It was the first time all the history lessons of the year clicked and a sea of "ah has" emanated from inside the Capitol Rotunda. It was the first time we have visited our U.S. Senators' offices and entered the brand new US Capitol Visitor Center. We are looking forward to a repeat of these life-changing experiences with an incredible group of scholars this year. In June, the students will travel to our nation's capital for three days to experience the richness of history, exciting political climate of change and higher education opportunities.

The students representing our charter school in Washington D.C.

will be distinguished student leaders. To be eligible, the students will undergo a rigorous evaluation process; their behavior, commitment to school values, academic performance and dedication to community service will be monitored to determine the students' eligibility. These student leaders will have distinguished themselves as most deserving of this experience to enrich their middle school career and poise them for their future success.

My Project

Of course, higher education is just one piece of Washington D.C.'s rich tapestry. The students will visit the monuments, museums, White House, Capitol Building, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, African American Civil War Memorial and Museum, The Smithsonian and other national treasures. Groups of students will research each one of the stops on our itinerary and the students will serve as our guides giving us the history of the site and important things we should notice along the way. The students will have a chance to practice their public speaking while seeing our history first-hand.

I am strong believer in middle school students and the impact that a trip like this can have.

For many, a trip like this is a certainty, for us it is not. We have students who have never been on a coach bus, never stepped foot in a hotel and never gone on an out of state trip with their peers. Combine that with literally making history come alive in Washington D.C. and we have ourselves an important proposal here. Please consider giving what you can! And then pass this on! Thank you!!!!!!
