The memorable moments for us during our family’s 13 years at the school were the educational tours to Florida, New York City, Washington DC, the White House and Pentagon, Canada, Niagara Falls, Ohio, the creation Museum, Kentucky, Philadelphia, and Pennsylvania Amish Dutch country. These memories will forever be etched in our minds.
