A message from Mrs. Wehrle: 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙
I am so fortunate to be able to coordinate our 8th grade Washington DC trip for Riverdale! Mrs. Caudill, and Mr. Sorg traveled with me, along with 30 of our Riverdale 8th graders and 15 parents to Washington DC the week of May 19-22. While there, we were able to see the White House, the WWII, Vietnam, Korean War, Jefferson, Lincoln, FDR, United 93, Iwo Jima, Air Force, Pentagon, and MLK Jr. Memorials. We also saw the Washington Monument, visited the Smithsonian Institution Museums, along with the National Holocaust Museum. We were able to go to the National Archives to see the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. We walked by the Library of Congress and the Supreme Court building. Claire Inbody, Lexi Dailey, Evenlyn Egbert, and Trenton Brown were chosen by an essay writing contest to place a wreath for Riverdale Middle School on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier for the day. At Arlington National Cemetery, we also toured Robert E Lee's house, saw JFK's grave and eternal flame, watched the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, saw the mast of the USS Maine, and saw the space shuttles Columbia and Challenger's memorials. We were able to walk through and around the Capitol Building. We visited Mount Vernon and got to tour George Washington's house and grounds, and see the gravesites and tombs of George and Martha Washington. We went to Ft. Myer Army Base and attended their presentation "Twilight Tattoo" which highlighted the Army's history in all of the US wars. Makaylee Frey and Caleb Powell received American flags that had been previously flown at the US Capitol Building from the tour guide for being wonderful examples of students who exhibited patriotism, sacrifice, integrity, responsibility, and citizenship while on the trip. It was a lot of touring in a short amount of time, that included a lot of walking, but so much was learned, and so much fun was had! ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸
