What do you get when you take 13 very excited Kate Andrews High School students, two teachers and a parent and put them together for 10 days?
The trip of a lifetime!
Mike Gibson, Kate Andrews social studies teacher and trip organizer, was absolutely thrilled with the overall success of the Easter trip (March 22-31) to the Eastern Seaboard of the United States.
Students for the Palliser school in Coaldale were able to explore the most popular and culturally-rich sites that places like Boston, Cambridge, Lexington, Concord, New York City, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Jamestown and Williamsburg had to offer. In their travels the students were able to get a glimpse into U.S. history from its revolutionary beginnings to modern day politics.
Whether it was: travelling along the oldest historic walking trail in Boston , called the famous Freedom Trail; visiting George Washington’s house; visiting the Empire State Building, Liberty Island and Ellis Island in New York; marveling at the Smithsonian Museums in Washington; or having a chance to view the magnificent monuments to noteworthy presidents; the students had an incredible journey that will have lasting memories .
The school issued a huge 'thank you' goes out to Miss Nicole Hanna and Mr. Doug Burke – who also accompanied the students on this trip and whose help was greatly appreciated – and to Leigh Jameson, who was the best tour guide a group could have.
