I am planning to participate in an amazing educational program to Washington D.C. during the Summer of 2016 with my friends and classmates from Hamlin Middle School. My teacher will sponsor the 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. This tour will give me a hands-on education of some of our most important historical and cultural landmarks such as the Washington Monument, the U.S. Capitol Building, the White House, Arlington National Cemetery and the many memorials which pay tribute to Lincoln, FDR, Thomas Jefferson. Most importantly, this trip will increase my appreciation for American heritage by exposing me to the diverse cultural roots of our country.
