Day 5 Summer Trip recap. Today, students started the day by exploring the Natural History Museum, followed by a walk through Central Park. They had lunch at Grand Central Terminal and then got to haggle their way through Chinatown and Little Italy. We had a family-style dinner in Chinatown and ended the day with a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge.

Summer Trip day 4 recap. Today, students cruised along the Hudson River to get views of the Statue of Liberty, then they received a walking tour of the 9/11 memorials from a survivor of that day. One group was led by an FDNY firefighter and the other by a woman who worked in the towers. It was an honor to hear their stories. After that, the students got to explore the 9/11 museum and see the timeline of events and how that day unfolded. We ended the day with a subway ride to dinner and the Broadway show Hadestown.

Day 3 of the summer trip meant that we left Boston and hopped on a bus to New York. The students got to see 5 states in one day, as most of the day was spent on the bus. We saw Rockefeller Center, Times Square, and had dinner at Chelsea Market. We finished off the evening by going to the top of one World Trade Center to take in spectacular 360 degree views of the city.

Day 2 of the summer trip was yesterday and the theme was 'old and little.' Students got to visit the Old North Church, Lunch at Harvard Square, Lexington and Concord, the Old North Bridge, and the Orchard House. We had dinner at Elephant and Castle and then finished off the day with sunset views of Boston from the top of Prudential Tower.

Our 7th and 8th grade students woke up bright and early to travel to Boston this morning. Once we landed in Boston, we hit the ground running. We visited Quincy Market, Old State House and site of the Boston Massacre, Granary Cemetery, the Holocaust Memorial, and the USS Constitution.

On Wednesday, our 7th graders went on their annual year end field trip to Natural Bridge Caverns, where they uncovered the secrets of two incredible caves during the Discovery Tour and Hidden Wonders Tour, gaining invaluable insights into the caverns' fascinating history and geological formation. Their excitement was substantial, filled with gasps of wonder as they explored. It was the perfect way to finish of 7th-grade leaving lasting memories and inspiring young minds.

We celebrated our 6th and 7th grade students' outstanding achievements at their end of year awards ceremony last night. Their unwavering commitment to excellence shines through in all they do, and we are so proud. Recognizing their hard work, creativity, and dedication to service is one of the highlights of our year.

Our 6th graders embarked on their annual adventure to Corpus Christi to explore the Texas State Aquarium, igniting curiosity and excitement as they discovered the wonders of the deep. They’ve had an incredible school year and this was a great way to celebrate them!

The city of San Antonio has some great service opportunities! Connect and give back to our community!

Important update on transportation this afternoon. Stay safe families!

⚠️ Weather-Related Bus Delays Expected This Afternoon ⚠️

Due to the heavy rainfall, all afternoon bus routes will operate with extra caution today (Monday, April 20) to ensure student safety. Routes may experience delays as drivers take every precaution to ensure students arrive home safely. With some areas of the District experiencing rising water, some of our drivers will be rerouting in instances where there are low water crossings.

As the afternoon progresses, we will likely be a little later than usual at some of the Middle School and High School campuses, but our intention is to ensure every bus reaches every campus and every stop along its route.
