Last week the fourth grade had the chance to visit our state capital of Annapolis. Nearly 200 fourth graders boarded the buses early Monday morning and traveled to one of Maryland's most historic and beautiful locations. The students enjoyed lunch by the water and took in the sites of the town. From there, we visited the U.S. Naval Academy. We looked in at the crypt of Captain John Paul Jones, a model of courage and resilience from our Navy's first fleet. We moved our tour to the State Capitol. The students got to stand in the same place George Washington resigned his commission after the American Revolution. The students were excellent representatives of Urbana Elementary. It was so much fun to see them in a new environment, exploring the history we have learned in school.
A special thank you to our wonderful chaperones who braved the trip and helped make sure everyone was safe and secure during the day!
