Greetings from D . C .!
AROUND CAMPUS
An annual staple of our Upper School curriculum , we were pleased to return to our nation ’ s capital for the highly anticipated sixth grade adventure . For generations of Saint David ’ s boys , this trip has been a leading curriculum initiative and reflects our desire to incorporate signature travel learning experiences into our educational program . Sixth graders explored our nation ’ s capital for three days in May . The Washington , D . C . study tour provides a wonderful opportunity to observe the institutions of our democracy in action . Highlights of this year ’ s trip included visits to the National Museum of American History , a private tour of the U . S . Capitol Building including a meeting with New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand , and an evening tour of national monuments . All of the activities that the boys participated in deepened their understanding of topics they have studied this year , particularly in their American history and science courses .
