Get ready for the opportunity of a lifetime! During Spring Break 2027, our students will travel to the historic East Coast, exploring the heart of our nation in Washington, D.C., the energy of New York City, and the rich colonial history of Boston. From walking in the footsteps of our nation’s leaders to experiencing iconic landmarks and vibrant city life, this trip brings history, government, and culture to life in unforgettable ways.

We invite all interested families to learn more at our informational Zoom meeting on Tuesday, 2/24 at 5:30 PM with Mrs. Ortega. We’ll review itinerary highlights, safety information, payment plans, and answer all of your questions.
