Following the positive feedback from last month’s Flag
Retirement Ceremony, the 8th grade class will again have the
opportunity to share a unique experience with local veterans. In honor of
Veterans Day, we have partnered with the Heinz History Center to offer a
“Veterans Day Experience Field Trip” on Friday, November 8.
On this date, 8th Grade students will have the
opportunity to tour an exhibit at the Heinz History Center with a veteran, hear
personal stories and reflections of their service, eat lunch with a veteran,
examine rare primary sources from each veteran, and take part in a round-table
discussion with veterans from World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War,
and the War in Iraq.
Students will depart from the Middle School at 8:30 a.m. and
return by 2:00 p.m. Since students who attend this field trip will be
missing classes, they are responsible for seeing their teachers in advance to
make sure that they can make up the work. The cost of the Veterans Day
Field Trip Experience is $8.00 per student. Space is limited for this
field trip. Students who are interested in attending this field trip
should sign up in Mr. Smith’s classroom by October 4. If you have any
questions about the field trip, contact Mr. Smith at jsmith@avonworth.k12.pa.us
