Hi everyone,

My name is Henry Hynds, and I’m an 8th-grader at Cherry Creek Academy. This spring, I have the incredible opportunity to join my classmates on a 5-day educational trip to Washington, D.C. and New York City!

This trip will be an amazing chance to see our nation’s history and culture come to life — visiting places like the Lincoln Memorial, the U.S. Capitol, the Smithsonian Museums, the 9/11 Memorial, and even Times Square. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime learning experience that goes far beyond the classroom.

I’m working hard to help raise the funds needed to cover the cost of the trip, which includes transportation, hotel, meals, and admission fees. The total cost is $4200, and every dollar helps bring me closer to making this dream a reality.

If you’re able, I’d be so grateful for your support — whether that’s through a donation or by sharing this page with friends and family.

Thank you for helping me explore history, culture, and the world beyond my hometown. Your generosity truly means a lot!

With gratitude,

Henry Hynds
