DC Trip Itineraries

Hi all,

  In TAG time this week homeroom teachers did an overview of their itinerary for the trip, using a PowerPoint slideshow and explaining all the monuments, memorials, museums and sites their group will be reflecting on while on the DC trip. We also shared with them their schedule for the week in D.C. We have posted them here by homeroom for you to view (your child will receive a hard copy of this as well from their homeroom teacher)

  Please note that these schedules are all tentative. As we get closer to the trip certain things may change.

 BUS 5 Battaglia/Cerrone and Montwieler/McDonald Homerooms
