Discovering the Past
in DC
On September 29, the eighth grade class spent a day in Washington D.C. The trip was part of the students’ studies of World War II and the Holocaust taught by Mrs. Smolter. In addition to a visit to the Holocaust Museum, the students were able to visit the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument, and view the White House among many other sites. Father Will, a former DC resident, impressed the group by offering his expertise of the area and destinations and became their personal tour guide!
