Senior Trip


Nerves. Sleepless nights. Anxiety. Emotions.

So many words to describe the last few months and so many different words to describe this last week!

Perfect. Exciting. Exhausted. Awesome.

Sixteen seniors and four chaperones left Sunday evening, March 24 at 7:00pm and returned at 12:30am Saturday morning from the senior trip to New York City and Washington DC. Thirty-five years ago I had my senior trip to Washington DC. Our class didn't get to go to NYC, so this was a first for me! I'm already making plans to go back!



Above is a picture of the Freedom Tower being constructed. The Twin Towers were destroyed by terriosts and the World Trade Center is being rebuilt. When the Freedom Tower is complete, from the top of the flag pole to the ground will be 1776 feet. Completion date is sometime in 2014.

Ground Zero was very emotional. The quietness. The view. The thoughts of what is was like there on 9/11.

A view of New York. Seventy stories above the city. Very peaceful.
