Washington DC

I spend this past Wednesday to Sunday with 15 wonderful 10th graders on our annual Washington DC trip. We visited the White House, the monuments and a whole host of museums. We saw a play, ate some good food and viewed the cherry blossoms. But the most important part of the trip, which you can see from the student's comments below is simply the chance to spend significant Jewish time together as a class. This trip is another great Pardes opportunity to form life-long friendships.

My favorite part of the trip was…

Joe: Becoming closer with everyone in the class. I had so much fun goofing off and spending time with everyone.

Gordy: Going to see Shear Madness

Seth: Visiting the Newseum. It was great to see closer into so many major events and people.

Levi: Spending time with everyone. I had a great time.

Zach: Hanging out in the hotel with everyone

Sam: Walking around DC and joking, playing, and talking with everyone. Also Walgreens!

Bekah: Spending time with everyone on the walks and going to see Shear Madness.

Paige: I had an amazing time! Shear Madness was hilarious and the Newseum was so cool! Also spending time with everyone!

Sydney: Spending time with everyone and getting to know them better! Shear Madness was really fun also.

Daniel: Getting to know everyone better and Shear Madness

Barri:  Laughing all throughout the trip and getting to know everyone so much better.

Aviva: Getting to know everyone better, meeting homeless people, drawing stuff and Shear Madness.

Samara: This trip was so much fun! I had a lot of fun getting to know everyone better.

Edan: I had a lot of favorites, I loved the protesters and the homeless but my favorite was just being with everyone.
