Dane's , Mary Star of Sea School trip to DC
Donation protected
Hi, I am Dane Rodwell, and I'm 13 years old. I'm in 8th grade at Mary Star of the Sea school. I am an avid basketball player that would like to see the world. I really want to go on this school trip to Washington DC with my friends, because I think it is an amazing learning opportunity for me not just to grow academically but as a person.
I'm currently a science tutor on Wednesdays after school, and I'm gearing up to become a teacher's assistant in summer school. All of this is part of my plan to save up for the Washington DC adventure in April 2024. The total cost for the trip is $3964, Every bit helps, and I'm grateful for any support, thank you
Here's the exciting plan for our 7-day adventure to DC
Day 1: Jamestown Settlement
- We are ready to step back in time and explore the awesome Jamestown Settlement, where it all began!
Day 2: Colonial Williamsburg
- We're heading to Colonial Williamsburg for a cool study visit.
- Then, we're checking out Thomas Jefferson's ‘Monticello’ estate. Imagine walking in the footsteps of one of the OG founding fathers
Day 3: United States Capitol
- Time to visit the famous United States Capitol. It's the heart of our American democracy, and we get to see where all the big decisions go down
- Next up is the Library of Congress. It's not your regular library - it's like a treasure trove of super cool stuff.
Day 4: National Archives
- We're hitting up the National Archives, where they keep all the super important documents of the U.S. Like, we're talking the Declaration of Independence kind of important
Day 5: Arlington National Cemetery
