Avery Beebe will be heading a four day field trip to the inaugurational speech of the next president of the United States, after being contacted by WorldStrides. The trip is open to all high school students who are interested. There is a $2290 cost which is all inclusive, with a round trip flight, a hotel, meals and multiple other amenities. Registration deadline is June 2.

“I’m really very excited about it I was contacted a couple of weeks ago by WorldStrides and what was really exciting is they are all inclusive,” Beebe said. “We are also going to Arlington cemetery and a student inauguration dance, it’s a very exciting time.”

Not only will students be going to the inauguration, students will be going to the Smithsonian, US Capitol, Washington Monument, Ford’s Theater and various memorials.

AP US history student Kate Takahashi is very excited for the opportunity..

“It seems like a cool experience to actually be there during an inauguration and see first hand a lot of the stuff we learned about in APUSH this year,” Takahashi said.

For more information there is a meeting in room 605 on May 19 at 6:00 PM or visit Beebe in her classroom.

“Its open to all students and students are welcome to come into my class to receive some flyers,” Beebe said.
