Each year, the Laker 8th graders set out on a week-long, action-packed adventure to Washington, D.C. It’s a tradition that’s been going for more than four decades. Students visit a wide variety of monuments, historical sites, museums and more. it’s a trip that they’ll remember for many years to come. Here are some photos posted to the 2017 Washington, D.C. trip Facebook page, hosted by junior high social studies teacher Brenda Smith.
