Attention Students Traveling to Washington, D.C.:
Each year thousands of students travel to Washington, D.C and visit Arlington National Cemetery to witness the Changing of the Guard at The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. For many this event is the highlight of the entire trip. BMMS and BMHS has the distinct honor of nominating six students (4 participants and 2 alternates) travelling to Washington, D.C. to represent our district while laying a wreath on the tomb. The four participating students will earn the unique opportunity of interacting directly with the guards and taking part in the ceremony.
Interested students will be required to complete an essay detailing why they want to participate, what it would mean to them, and any personal interpretations of the patriotism, symbolism, and honor attached to this memorial ceremony. All submissions will be read by Berea City School staff members and the winners will be announced at the Roommate Meeting on Friday, February 15th. Students participating in this essay contest should also be aware that grades, behavior in school, and other factors may be used to determine the winners.
We strongly encourage traveling students to take part in this “absolute once in a lifetime” opportunity and welcome any questions. This year’s trip to Washington, D.C is going to be amazing and this ceremony will be something that will be remembered for the rest of our students’ lives. Essay applications can be found outside Mr.Andrews’ room,165, or on the Google Trip site. Please submit this essay to Mr. Andrews by no later than Friday, December 21st to be considered.
