My Project

Experiencing history is the best way to learn it. In February of 2025, I will travel with 50 students to London and Paris!

We will take part in wonderful activities such as a cricket lesson, theatre workshop and a drawing class, in addition to seeing all of the wonderful sites and mixture of cultures of London & Paris.

We are a Title I performing arts school that has been open for 23 years. Our students maintain over 90% attendance and are very talented artists, 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.

As we go through our travels of our trip we will be seeing and experiencing so much. And probably taking so many amazing photos. I want to help provide my students a way to charge all of their devices and to help make sure they can stay in contact with their families at home.
