History Class Trip to Washington DC!!
Donation protected
Hi everyone! My name is Yuli and I have a chance to go to Washington DC and Philadelphia this summer from May 29th to June 2nd with my school, Cooley Middle School. My school, along with other middle schools across the US have a chance to be apart of this fun but very educational trip. It's a partnership with an organization called "Close Up". I am asking for any type of help to raise money so I can attend this trip that I am very, very excited for.
So what's included with the total costs? Good question!! It will cover:
- My round-trip airfare
- Coach bus transportation around the city and every location we go too
- My 3 meals per day during the program
- The program tuition and instruction
- Academic Materials (because we have work shops every night when we come back from the different places we see / visit that day to review what we learned )
- My hotel accommodations
- A personal Close Up Representative for my school
- Access to Georgetown Medical Center (as a just in case something happens)
- 24-hour adult supervision and security
- All entrance fees for the different museums we attend
So what will be we doing all those days we are there? Here's a look at some of the places we'll be attending and learning about:
- Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial Study Visit
- Martin Lither King Jr Memorial Study Visit
- The Smithsonian National Museum of American History
- Thomas Jefferson Memorial Study Visit
- U.S. Marine Corps Memorial
- Arlington National Cemetery
- Mock Congress Workshop and Simulation (we get to take on roles of members of Congress and debate and vote on today's most pressing issues like they do in real life)
- White House Study Visit
- Capitol Hill Study Visit (walk to walls of Congress and learn how the legislative branch really works)
- Evening Monuments on the National Mall - We get to visit the WW11, Korean, Lincoln and Vietnam (the war my Grampie was in) Memorials
- Also a day trip to Philadelphia !! We get to visit the National Constitution Center and the Independence Park and Historic Center (we get to see the Liberty Bell)!!!
I have a $500.00 deposit that is due really soon on Oct 1st and the rest is due at the end of March. I know it is a lot of money and not a lot of time to raise it. I am trying to put together a few other fundraisers but thought this might be a good place to start, especially for friends and family who don't live in Arizona. So anything you might be able to help with me, big or little, will mean so much to me to make this goal come true. THANK YOU so much!!
Love,
Yuli Ojeda
