RMSA- Washington D.C 8th Grade Trip
Donation protected
We, the 8th grade students at Rochester Math and Science Academy, are planning to participate in an amazing educational program to Washington D.C., this April 2016. In order to take part in this totally unique adventure, we need to raise $50,000.It will cost each student a total of $1,900. Please help us by sponsoring a portion of our trip or one student. Any contribution you could make would bring us that much closer to this once in a lifetime experience. It will be a historic journey. We’ll spend a total of 5 days together in D.C. learning really cool things about our country. Here are some of the awesome activities that are planned for us on our visit:
● The Capitol: See the Rotunda and the Senate and House chambers where Congress meets.
● White House: Visit the most famous house in America - home to our president and the executive branch of our government.
● Lincoln Memorial: Pay tribute to our 16th president and reading his famous Gettysburg Address.
● Arlington National Cemetery: See the Changing of the Guard ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the Eternal Flame at JFK’s gravesite, and the Challenger Memorial.
● Smithsonian Museums: Visit the many Smithsonian museums located on the Mall in D.C., including the Air and Space Museum and Museum of Natural History.
A little Background Info:
Rochester Math and Science Academy is a charter school that first opened 10 years ago. Our mission is to maximize opportunities for children through educational innovations that will ensure their full development as healthy and positive contributors to the greater community. The purpose of this fundraiser is to take our scholars on the trip of a lifetime. Most of our 8th grade students are immigrants to the United States. They’ve never had the chance to go on trip to a different state. Each person’s world view is shaped by individual experiences, as well as the experiences of the group to which he or she belongs. Our students are lacking in these rich experiences. Assist us in developing their essential skills by helping us provide the experiences they need to become outstanding citizens that give back to their society.
