This year I will be offering a trip to Gettysburg and Washington, D.C. for eighth grade students. Classic Tours of Auburn will be making the arrangements for us. This is a school sponsored tour and as such, all school rules and regulations will apply. It will be chaperoned by teachers and other adults as needed.

We will depart from Mishawaka Catholic School the evening of Sunday, June 2 via motor coach. We will travel to Washington by way of Gettysburg and arrive at our hotel Monday evening. We will leave Washington the evening of Thursday, June 6, and arrive back at Mishawaka Catholic School early the next morning, Friday, June 7.

Highlights of our trip will include a tour of the Gettysburg battlefield; a tour of Capitol Hill; a night tour of the memorials; visits to Arlington National Cemetery and Mount Vernon in Virginia; the Smithsonian Institute museum complex and much more.

Deposits are due by February 2, 2024.

Final payment is due April 18, 2024.

A billing statement will be sent via email approximately three weeks prior to the final payment due date.

The number of reservations accepted is limited by bus size and will be based on the date deposits are received.  Reservation priority is for students, adults could be placed on a wait list.

I am confident that a visit to Gettysburg and Washington, D.C. will provide a unique learning experience, as well as a valuable insight into our nation's history and government. If you have questions not answered by this letter or the enclosure, please feel free to contact me at school.
