Attention Kindergarten Parents!
Today, D 12 concluded their summer camp, which saw approximately 100 students participate in at least one of the six Tuesday sessions offered in the morning or afternoon. Each week, students were transported in classes decorated in a variety of themes, including farm, camping, space, zoo, racing, and pirate. The walls were decorated to match the theme, and all games were designed to align with the theme as well. Students practiced educational skills, built STEM projects, and worked cooperatively in groups. Most importantly, they had fun. This year, we were fortunate to receive the Clinton County Farm Bureau grant, which enabled us to host a farming day. Additionally, Carlyle Park Rangers provided instruction on fire safety, and World Wide Technology Center brought a race car to the camp.

On Tuesday, the Bobcats traveled an hour north of DC and visited Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. We watched a video about the influential battle of the Civil War, saw a massive 360 degree painting of Pickett's Charge, and had a guided bus tour of the battlefield. We saw buildings with remnants of cannon balls, places President Lincoln visited while there, and learned how the battle played out over three days in July 1863. Without this victory, the Union could have lost the Civil War. After returning to DC, we visited the MLK and FDR memorials. The plan was to also visit the Jefferson Memorial, but we didn't have time. The evening was spent in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, the oldest colonial community. We enjoyed time shopping, eating, and hanging out along the Potomac River.
Our final day in DC involved a lot of walking! We totaled about 15,000-16,000 steps on this day alone!
Our day started at Arlington National Cemetery. We learned there are over 400,000 graves and funerals are held there almost daily. We visited JFK's tomb and his eternal flame and the Arlington House, which is where Confederate General Lee lived during the Civil War. We ended our time there by seeing the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Changing of the Guard. Several of the adults there were wiping away tears when that was done.
To end the trip, we visited the Smithsonian American History Museum and Ford's Theater. We learned about the night President Lincoln was shot and saw the theater box he was sitting in when John Wilkes Booth assassinated him.
Our 9:40pm flight was delayed until 1:00am and we didn't get back to Breese until 3:30am, but these Bobcats had the trip of a lifetime!
If your child is going into 6th or 7th grade, be on the lookout in the fall for information about a Summer 2027 trip.
Yesterday in DC was a blast of all of us and full of emotion!
We started the day with a tour of the US Capitol and stood inside the rotunda. After that, we went to the White House and some our Bobcats did the Cupid Shuffle on Pennsylvania Avenue. We walked across the street to the Library of Congress and then the Supreme Court.
The afternoon was the Holocaust Museum. The history and the artifacts there were so moving and emotional for all of us.
The evening was the Vietnam and Korean Wall Memorials and the Lincoln Monument.
