Every year, the 8th grade class plans an overnight trip to Philadelphia. As a culmination of the middle school social studies curriculum, Philadelphia is a perfect place for students to take their learning outside the classroom and experience many of the things they have been learning around the American Revolution, citizenship and civic participation, and the complex process of nation-building and building a democracy. We will need the support of the whole class, school, and community to help make this trip a success!
