How do teachers unwind after a day in the rain? Facials!!! We are so ready for our final day, rejuvenated and ready!

Peveler's Post

Well, what can I say....these children and chaperones are amazing! We have had a marvelous two days full of experiences we won't forget!  Memories for a lifetime!  We braved the wet weather with smiles on our faces and really took in the events of the day.  As soon as I can figure out how to post my video of our students singing the National Anthem with a street musician you will hear their true talent....yes a little off key but a beautiful sight to see!  Thank you to everyone who is involved in some way with the HES trip to DC!!!

Mt. Vernon

At Mt. Vernon, we relived the battles of Boston, Trenton and Yorktown. During this movie, snow fell from the sky. The kids loved it. This felt so great after our long trek up the hill from George Washington's Tomb. The rain didn't damper our spirits. What a great day today! 

The Hard Rock

Chaperones relaxing with each other at Hard Rock. Don't worry, all kids are being fed also.
