For the third year in a row, Greenwich Public Schools 8th Grade DC Trip Scholarship Fund and the Greenwich Alliance for Education are hosting “Dancing for DC,” a live music fundraiser on Friday, January 24 from 7:00-10:00pm at Old Greenwich Social Club.
The DC Trip Scholarship Fund raises money for the 8th Grade DC Trip, a decades-old, beloved capstone trip for Greenwich Public Schools’ 8th graders who cannot afford the $896 trip and need financial aid. During the 3 day, 2 night trip to Washington DC, students tour key US government locations, monuments, and museums such as Capitol Hill, the Capitol building, the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Memorial, Arlington Cemetery, the Vietnam Memorial, the Holocaust Memorial Museum, the Museum of African American History and Culture, and more.
The trip directly corresponds to the GPS 8th Grade Social Studies curriculum and encourages a lifetime of civic engagement, not to mention provides a social emotional bonding experience for our GPS students before they head off to high school.
The entire Greenwich community is welcome to attend this fundraiser. Tickets are $50/person and all proceeds will go toward current and future scholarships for the 8th Grade DC Trip.
Musical guests Vicky Dussich & Friends will perform and there will be free appetizers and a cash bar. Click here to buy tickets: https://greenwichalliance.org/ogsc
