GCA Students Explore D.C. During Trip Week

Forty-two students and chaperones from Grace Christian Academy just returned from a five-day educational history trip to Washington, D.C. The trip was a part of GCA’s annual Trip Week and was organized locally by Mrs. Kathy Bennett, a GCA teacher, and coordinated through Christian Discoveries the week of Feb. 28th – March 6th.
The students were able to witness our government in action through a visit to the Capitol Building. They explored themes of personal risk and sacrifice while visiting the World War II, Vietnam, Iwo Jima, and Korean War Memorials.
