Hello, I'm Alicia, Bella's mom. Bella is thrilled about her 8th-grade DC/Philly/NYC trip. She's an outstanding student, a loving daughter, and a dedicated big sister. She has been a member of the leadership program for the last 2 years, where she mentors younger grades and contributes to improving her school. She is very excited to explore and learn the history of the national monuments. She's also looking forward to the opportunity to visit New York's Ellis Island and see her Nana's name on the wall of immigrants. All of Bella's dedication and hard work make her truly deserving of this exciting opportunity! She puts her all into everything she does and would greatly appreciate any contributions to help make this dream come true.
