Shivani's Post

Spring Break By: Shivani Spring break is over! Darn! What did you do over the break? Did you go to PEP? Seven students in our class went to WASHINGTON D.C. !!!!! For many students, being away from home for one week must have been a great experience, but for others it must have been sad. If you went, how did you feel about being away from home? But anyways we had such wonderful supporting chaperones and teachers. We saw many amazing sites like, The White House, The Capitol Building, John Fitzgerald Kennedy's gravesite, President’s Park and Old Jamestown, Yorktown and Williamsburg. We also saw the Washington Monument. We saw Ford's Theatre where Abraham Lincoln was assassinated and The Peterson House where he died. Some of the memorials that we saw include The Lincoln Memorial, The Jefferson Memorial, The FDR Memorial and the Army Memorial for Men and Women. We visited the Smithsonian Museum and saw the Tomb of the Unknown soldiers in Arlington National Cemetery where two of our presidents are buried. My favorite part was going to President's park and The Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers. Now if you did not go to Washington D.C, would you want to go now? And if you did go, what was your favorite part and what more would you have wanted to see?
