KJHS Wildcats in the White House

Over Columbus Day weekend last month, a group of 8th graders from Kennedale Junior High School traveled to Washington DC. This has become an annual event for 8th grades.{{more: continue …}}

 

 

For many this was a once in a lifetime event. It was four fun filled, educational packed days. The students received the opportunity to tour many of the monuments, museums and federal buildings in DC including:

• the House of Representatives,
• the Washington Monument,
• the Lincoln, Jefferson and Martin Luther King Jr. Memorials,
• the Vietnam Wall,
• the National Cathedral,
• the National Zoo,
• the Arlington Cemetery and Mount Vernon, as well as
• the Smithsonian and Holocaust Museums.

 

This group was the first of our groups to go INTO the White House!

 

We are already recruiting for next year?s October trip, which will include the current 7th and 8th graders.

Students were accompanied by the following teachers and staff members: Carrie Dupire, Tommie Dearing, Lupe Jimenez, and Stephanie Rush.
