As part of their Close Up Trip, 8th graders spent a day in Philadelphia.
They started at the Constitution Center, watched the incredible Freedom Rising production, enjoyed authentic Philly cheesesteaks for lunch, and explored the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall.
Some students visited Benjamin Franklin’s house while others checked out more historic sites around the city. We wrapped up the day at Dave & Buster’s with food, games, and lots of fun! ❤️
