Hello! My name is Angelica and I’m fundraising for my 8th Grade son, Noah. Noah has a heart of gold. He’s a straight A student who is more responsible than me! He enjoys going to the theater, playing piano, trumpet, drawing and animating.

Noah has an opportunity to go with his 8th grade class on a 10 Day trip to visit the Washington DC and the surrounding areas go a historical tour. For many of us, this class trip was a right of passage. Due to COVID, Noah and his fellow 8th graders missed out on experiencing their Outdoor Science Camp in 6th grade. These kids have been through so much during this pandemic. Which is why I’m so happy a group of parents got together to organize this lifetime trip. Finally giving these kids something normal back!

This trip is no longer sponsored by the school. Fundraising opportunities are limited especially because we weren’t certain it would possible until 2 months ago in November, 2021! So here we are… Noah leaves on March 17th and returns on March 26th. Some of the trip highlights are listed below. This truly is an amazing experience. Any donation would be greatly appreciated!
