Only a few tears shed but a lot of side hugs and “OK OK bye, love you too” as we sent off our 8th graders to Washington, DC on Tuesday evening. PTSA passed out “DC survival kits” that included crosswords & maze puzzles to do on the plane, electrolytes to keep them hydrated, and ponchos in case it rains. Chaperones also got a coffee gift card to keep them going, a mini first-aid kit (with multiple packs of headache medicine!) and ear plugs (for when they just can’t anymore 🤣). Loved hearing the “I love yous” and seeing parents so excited for their students to experience this adventure. Two days in and the students look to be having a blast and staying safe! We can’t wait to hear their stories. See you soon, Dolphins!
