My Project

Experiencing history is the best way to learn it. But the global pandemic has made it difficult to travel. Finally, in February of 2023, I will travel with 50 students to Madrid and Andalusia!

We will take part in wonderful activities such as a flamenco workshop and a painting class, in addition to seeing all of the wonderful sites and mixture of cultures of Spain.

We are a Title I performing arts school that has been open for 23 years. Our students maintain over 90% attendance rate and are very talented in all of their art forms, whether it is visual arts, instrumental music, drama, dance or vocal. I know that visiting such places will be a truly magical lifetime experience for our art students.

As we go through our travels of our trip we will be seeing and experiencing so much. There is a very good chance of mental overdrive and memories mixing together. We are requesting journals and writing supplies for our students so that they can record their emotions and reactions as we explore all of those magnificent cities each day. This way students will have a day by day account of their travels that they can look back to for a lifetime.

A pen coupled with paper can serve as a powerful life tool.

Journaling is an ancient tradition and many successful and important historical figures have kept journals. Through their journals students will be able to integrate their life experiences and their classroom lessons while enhancing their self expression.

Another key aspect of memorable travel experiences is to feel good while you are learning. To help with this I am asking for collapsible water bottles for hydration and first aid kits to help keep everyone safe.
