It looks like they are having a good time and I would really want to go on a good trip like this and I am really thankful for Ms. Olson, Ms, Arriaga and my mom. My mom helped me raise all of my money and she made me work day after day:) Hello I am Antionette Rocha and I am in sixth grade I am even more excited to D.C. after looking at all the KEEP pictures and seeing all my sisters in them.

I can't wait until I go to D.C! I am just excited. Sometimes I wonder how the food could be so great. I bet you the children in past trips had fun in Washington D.C. I also wonder if it was their first time in a plane. I wonder if it was scary. My favorite picture is when it looks like students holding the monument.

I just want to thank everyone who helped us achieve this experience. WOW! Now I am in high school. High school is tough but my experiences of walking on the streets of DC not only once not twice but three times has inspired me to keep at it. It was also so wonderful to have stood at the top of the Tour Eiffel. It was just so magical, like being in a dream that you never want to wake up from to come back to reality. It was not cool when the trips ended. I wish I could go back and relive that time but now I can make new dreams come true! When I grow up and move to London, then I will report back to you and tell all of you who have supported me, “THANKS” once more for changing my life!! Love Claudia (the girl in the fundraising letter!) <!--more--> Well, I was part of this beautiful experience! I just want to thank everyone who helped us achieve this experience. WOW!

At last I'm here, checking you out! Mr. Runyan with the boys on the escalator was awesome! We miss you all, but I think there is more room in the elective hallways during 6th grade passing periods :-) I'm leaving you to go check out the rest of your trip now. KEEP having fun!! You are SO lucky! Hello DOLPHINS!

I imagine it must be highly satisfying (and probably highly stressful in equal measures) to expose the kids to such a dynamic experience, knowing that it's something that they'll remember for the rest of their lives and that, like all travel, will, either papably or subtly, influence their attitudes and opinions through adulthood. It must be most rewarding for you especially if it is their first visit to Europe. I'm sure it opens up an appreciation of alternatives and options that they might otherwise not have considered (which I guess is rather the point of education in the first place). I'm pleased Inch is looking after you at Les Miz. She has been running our in-theatre merchandise sales for 30 years (!) - she managed 'Cats' from beginning to end of its 21 year run - and is well known and much loved as a character in the West End. Unfortunately, Inch doesn't have an email address at the moment, so I've printed out the shots and have sent them to her at the theatre. Till next year Best regards John Tyler What an exciting trip this must be for you every year.
