Long Trail School

At Long Trail School, we believe that diversity improves the educational experience. Never has that been more apparent than last week. Several different programs were happening simultaneously within the Long Trail community. The 8^th grade students were on a 5 day trip to Washington DC where they experienced the very best that our nation’s capital has to offer. Visits to museums, memorials, the White House and a trip to the Capital to meet Senator Leahy were all on the agenda. Middle schoolers in 6th and 7th grades were involved in an intensive project studying water. Students in grades 9-11 participated in Connections, an in-depth look at immigration. Seniors were involved in a variety of internships outside the school. These experiences ranged from crab fishing in Puerto Rico to Harvard University archives and even an internship with reporter Benita Zahn at WNYT. A fun-filled, educational week was had by all.
