The Union City 8th graders had a wonderful time on their Washington DC field trip this year. While in DC, students visited the White House, Ford's Theater, The US Capitol Building, Monuments, and several different Museums. The trip concluded with a tour around Arlington National Cemetery, the 9/11 memorial at the Pentagon Building, and a visit to the African American History Museum. The students were amazing and learned a lot about our Nation's history.
