Hi, my name is Heather and I'm raising money to help send my son, Dillon on his 8th grade trip to Washington DC. This is a once in a lifetime trip that Dillon is very excited to attend. As you all know we our family has had a rough year and extra funds have been a little tight.

Our trip includes a stop at the Pentagon Memorial where students will walk through the site that honors the 184 victims who died during the September 11, 2001 attacks at the Pentagon. The memorial shows the timeline of these victims’ ages ranging from just 3 years old to age 71.
Capitol Hill
Students will walk in the footsteps of our nation’s leaders as they explore Capitol Hill. Tour the underground tunnels to see where lawmakers meet, take in the miles of books at the Library of Congress, and sit on the steps of the highest court in the land, the U.S. Supreme Court.
