Junior High students arrived in Washington, D.C. today and are already immersing themselves in the rich history of our nation’s capital! Their first stop was the Udvar-Hazy National Air and Space Museum, followed by time exploring the National Mall—captured in a wonderful photo in front of the Washington Monument.

Students and teachers will continue taking in the incredible sights and experiences of Washington, D.C. before returning late Wednesday evening.
