If you have pictures that you would like to post from our trip, please email them to npsband1@gmail.com. If there are more than 5 pictures, please split them up into multiple emails or it may bounce back due to email size limits. Depending on how many I receive, I may or may not be able to post them all. Please note that they have to be appropriate which I'm sure will not be an issue.

Thank you Ruth for taking this picture!






Multiple Compliments About Our NPS Students

We have had numerous compliments from workers at the various exhibits that we have attended, as well as trip coordinators and otherwise that our students are very well behaved. The Park Ranger at the Jefferson Memorial went out of his way asking to come over as a group, and was very sincere that it was so refreshing to have a large group of students that were so respectful. As teachers and parents,  we should all be very proud of them!

We are going through downtown Chicago and just went by the Sears Tower!

Having Dinner Near Chicago

We are near Chicago. Here is a pic after supper. If your child isn't in it that doesn't mean they are lost. We'll continue uploading pictures as often as we can, and make sure to get as many students in them.


Travel Update

The trip is going well so far! We are currently in Loves Park, Illinois and will be stopping for supper soon. We have been watching movies and the kids are behaving very well. We will keep you updated on our progress!
