King Elementary Vists Washington, D.C. 

The Martin Luther King Jr. fifth-grade Huskies had the distinct honor of visiting the nation’s capitol, Washington, D.C., for their senior trip.The students were able to see history come alive as they toured national landmarks. During this fantastic voyage, the students visited the White House, Arlington Cemetery, and the Capitol. Students also visited the Air and Space Museum, the Smithsonian Institute National Museum of Natural History, the National Aquarium, the Lincoln Memorial, and the Wax Museum.

For many students, this was their first trip out of the state or their first stay in a luxurious hotel. As the buses traveled back to Georgia, the King Huskies even experienced a short snow storm! One student, who moved to Georgia from Haiti this school year, had the pleasure of seeing snow for the very first time. The success of this field trip adds foundational memories for future academic success. The King Huskies look forward to a return trip!

The students and chaperones took pictures to remind them of the wealth of knowledge hidden in these highly educational and fun places. To view the Huskies’ photos gallery click here.
