History lessons will come alive as the Curtis Corner Middle School (CCMS) 8th-graders travel to Washington, D.C. and learn first hand about the events that have shaped our nation.

The CCMS 8th-graders and their families are raising funds for their class trip to our nation's capital.  The group will travel by bus and participate in a three-day/two-night educational experience that will allow students to apply classroom knowledge, make connections, and enhance their understanding of our nation's history and government.  The trip includes the Smithsonian Museums of Natural History, American History, and Air and Space.  We will visit all the major memorials, Arlington National Cemetery, Supreme Court, and Mount Vernon. In addition, we will have the privilege to meet with our Rhode Island senators and representatives before a tour of the U.S. Capitol Building.  

This once in a lifetime trip is made available to all our 8th-grade students regardless of their ability to pay.  All funds raised will go directly to provide financial assistance to students in need.  The cost of the trip is $484 per student.  This year our scholarships consist of six (6) full and nine (9) half scholarships.  For many, it will be one of the few times in their lives they get to travel.  

It's an educational experience the kids of CCMS will never forget and we hope you can help.   Please consider investing in this worthwhile cause.
