Education with fun T I rips can be both fun and educational. Usually family trips to the beach are all fun, but sometimes a side trip to a museum or battlefield can add some educational highlights. Trips through the school have both elements: fun and education. This past year, several opportunities for trips were available. In November, Kristi Smith, a senior Truck Mechanics student at BJVS, was given the chance to go to Washington, D.C. She was elected N.E. Regional Secretary and her duties were those of a secretary. While in Washington, D.C., she and other members of the group toured many different places including the White House, the Senate, and the Vietnam Memorial. Said Smith about the trip, “It was a lot of fun, and I met a lot of new friends. As a member of FFA, Michele Short travelled to Kansas City for the national FFA convention, They visited Indianapolis and the Motor Speedway on the way. Short said, “FFA is a great way to learn about agriculture today. In the spring, Mrs. Bonnie Mackey took two yearbook students, Kristy Major and Steve Plunk, to a yearbook workshop in New York City. Plunk said, ‘‘The intent of the trip was to attend a workshop at Columbia University, although I think we all got away to relax, see the sights, and have a great time. While there, the three of them went to see the Broadway show “Cats” and attended a taping of the Donahue show. Steve said he would go again because it's such a change of pace, so culturally different from our area, and you can learn and see so much.” Over spring break, Mr. Gerald Stoughton and a student from Dover went with a group from New Phila High School to France. The many sights they saw included Notre Dame and many other cathedrals, Monte Martre, the Champs Elysses boulevard, and the Arch of Triumph. Their schedule was very hectic. Another spring trip was an excursion to Russia. Thirty-seven students and three adults toured Moscow, Minsk, and Leningrad. They visited Red Square, cathedrals, the hermitage, and ber-ioshkas. When asked what she thought of the 7 be people were too busy to stop and talk or even look like they wanted to. people, Tracy Clark replied. “The people were too busy to stop and talk or even look like they wanted to. Everyone at some time or other was approached about trading jeans and tennis shoes for money, which is illegal. Clark said she would like to go back on her own to “try to discover what it would be like to really live there and see the every day life.” Opportunities abounded this year for trips abroad. Hopefully, these opportunities will continue because they are both fun and educational. Student Life Trips
