LAKEPORT, Calif. – Konocti Christian Academy’s seventh and eighth grade classes went on a six-day field trip to the East Coast this last semester.

They toured Washington, DC, Gettysburg, Mount Vernon and New York.

In Gettysburg, the students toured the battlefield and learned about the different battles.

They also learned many things about America’s history, such as the American Revolution, the Civil War, the World Wars and many influential figures.

The school reported that some of the best things about the trip were the monuments they were able to see and learn about, including the Lincoln Memorial, the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, the Washington Monument and many others.

While in New York, they saw the Broadway musical “Wicked,” which was great because some of the students wish to pursue a career in theater.

The school reported that the trip was extremely fun and a great learning experience, and all of the students and staff would do it again if they could.

They also are thankful that they were able to go on the trip, and expressed their gratitude to everyone who made it possible – either through donations of time or money – for them to have the life-changing adventure.
