Connecting with Girls at Nicaphoto

At the Capitol in the Capital
Saint David’ s annual trip to the nation’ s capital continues to be a leading curricular initiative and reflects our mission to incorporate signature travel learning experiences into our educational program. As a culmination to their two-year study of American history, boys visit Gettysburg and Washington, D. C. It is during this experience that they gain a true appreciation for the importance of civil discourse in a democracy. This year, the opportunity to meet with New York representatives Mike Lawlor and Tom Suozzi further affirmed the significance of the trip.
