The 8th grade had such a wonderful trip today!!! We went to the museum of NYC and saw an exhibit about the history of Catholics in NY. We learned about immigration, education, saw a great mural and had some great discussions about how Catholicism has influenced NYC. We then had lunch in Central Park, followed by a fun game of leapfrog. We got a grant and as a result we were lucky enough to take a coach bus! It was such a wonderful day because we learned a lot, had fun, and had a great chaperone. Thank you Mrs. Harewood for joining us on this fun day!
