Middle School 8th Grade Washington DC Trip



Over MEA break, a group of 198 eighth-grade students, from both Hidden Oaks and Twin Oaks Middle Schools, visited Washington DC our Nation’s capital.  The students experienced history first-hand!  Students visited many historical places, including Newseum, Mount Vernon, Gettysburg, Arlington National Cemetery, various Smithsonian Museums, many of the monuments on the National Mall, and the Holocaust Museum.  Students came away from the trip with a better understanding of American history as well as a great introduction to our Nation’s capital.
