I am planning to participate in an amazing educational
program to Washington D.C. and New York City next summer (June 7-13, 2014) with
my friends and classmates from Lawrence E. Jones Middle School. Teachers from our school will sponsor this
trip and we are traveling with the educational tour specialist, School Tours of
America. You can view their website at www.schooltoursofamerica.com to
learn more about our tour.
Student travel is a fundamental part of the educational
process and is essential to a well-rounded education. My mother was fortunate to travel a lot
growing up in the military, and now that my dad is retired, I would like an
opportunity to see as much of the world as I can. This tour will give me a hands-on education of
some of the of our most important historical and cultural landmarks in
Washington such as the Washington Monument, the US Capitol Building, the White
House, Arlington National Cemetery and the many memorials with pay tribute to
Lincoln, FDR and Thomas Jefferson, and so much more. In New York we will visit Ellis Island, the
Statue of Liberty, Wall Street, Empire State Building, St. Paul’s Chapel,
Ground Zero, etc. Most importantly this
trip will increase my appreciation for American heritage by exposing me to the
diverse cultural roots of our country.
In order to take part in this educational adventure, I need
to raise the balance of the cost of this trip (see my progress on this page http://www.mytourfund.com/ad/show/3186.
Would you be willing to sponsor a portion of my trip in
place of a Christmas gift or birthday gift?
Any contribution you could make would bring me closer to this changing
experience.
I have declined going to Disneyland again next year for
Cheer Nationals so I can go on this trip.
I feel this is much more educational and possibly a trip of a lifetime.
If you have any questions or would like to find out more
about where I will be traveling, please email me (well, my mom, I don’t use my
email anymore keilani0921@yahoo.com)
and I would be happy to tell you all about it.
Thank you so much for considering this opportunity to help!
