CDA Dallas 8th Graders Travel to Washington D.C. for Spring Trip
The 8th grade students have just returned from an unforgettable trip to Washington, D.C., where they explored some of the nation's most historic landmarks.
Their visit included a tour of the White House, where they got a glimpse into the daily workings of the executive branch. Highlights of the Museum of the Bible included seeing St. Jerome’s Vulgate and a working replica of the Gutenberg Press, both studied in 3rd grade. They also spent time in several museums, marveling at fascinating exhibits on history, science, and culture. Congressmen Pat Fallon, Ronny Jackson, and Rich McCormick joined Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne on the steps of the Capitol and spoke to our students about their roles, and answered our students' questions. The experience gave students a deeper appreciation of American history and government. They returned home with great memories and an appreciation of all they have learned!
