The current version of the trip has been in place since 2010. Two teachers observed that the 8th grade did not have any field trips or educational opportunities outside the school building, & put in the hard work to interview travel companies and set up the initial trip.
The trip has taken place in February, May, June, and October, with October being favored for weather & the ability to focus on early American History in both Philadelphia & Washington, D.C.
West has used Green Light Group Tours for many years. Their customer service & friendliness is unmatched.
