Our overnight field trip to Seattle/Tacoma was a great success, with stops at the Museum of Flight, Pike Place Market, Queen Anne Pool, Defiance Park, and the Museum of Glass. This was a highlight to our year and an experience that will be engrained in our memories for years to come.
A HUGE thank you goes out to everyone who helped make the trip happen. To Paul, our outstanding bus driver who calmly navigated through city streets and dealt with nasty traffic. To all of our chaperones who guided students through museums and the market, helped to make sure students were fed, and kept order throughout our journey. And let’s not forget Gretchen in our school office for helping to make sure we had crossed all of our t’s and dotted all of our i’s before we left. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
