2027 ETMS Goes to Washington, D.C.
Travel with your friends to Washington, D.C. the summer of 2027!
Every trip is a journey of possibilities. Students will be immersed in history, culture, and sciences. Students grow by bringing learning to life—new ideas, new friends, and the memories of a lifetime.
We want to take students to Washington, D.C. to experience the historical and cultural significance of the city and surrounding areas. We will have the opportunity to see how the history of our nation is deeply rooted in the city through sites such as the White House, Capitol Building, Arlington National Cemetery, Smithsonian Museums, and a variety of national monuments and memorials.
Attend the trip family information meeting September 10 at 7:00 pm in the ETMS Library for more information and $75 off the cost of registration. Email kenny.taylor@lsr7.net or visit bit.ly/etmstrip for more information.
