While in Washington D.C these are the following places they will be visiting:

The
White House is located on 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. The White House
was the biggest house in the United States until the British destroyed
it. About 6000 people visit the rebuilt White House every day!
It has six floors, two |
basements,
seven staircases, one hundred and thirty-two rooms, thirty-two bathrooms,
one hundred and forty-seven windows, four hundred and twelve doors, twelve
chimneys, and three elevators.
The trip is opened to all responsible seventh and eighth grade students
from Edison and Broadmoor who want to see our nation’s capital. You must
be well behaved at school. Students may make some of the money by selling
candy bars. |
