Our Day in DC

Our Day in DC

Hello All:

We had a fantastic day with our Young Scientists visiting the sites of DC before the big presentation tomorrow.

We loaded into Lyfts and off to DC we went :)

We then loaded on to an Air-Conditioned Bus that zoomed us around the city to various sites.

We started with the White House. The street just before the White House was closed so we were a little far away but.. We still got to see the home of the nation's president.

We then left from there to the amazing WWII Memorial.

From WWII Memorial we went to the Jefferson Memorial:

From there we went to the Amazing FDR Memorial:

From there we walked along the Tidal Basin to the MLK Memorial.

Along the way we saw a turtle.

The MLK Memorial was Amazing.

From there we went to one of the most amazing memorials in the World - The Lincoln Memorial. We went through the Korean War Memorial on the way there and saw the wall with faces and no names.

We then walked through the Vietnam Memorial

Where we saw the wall with names and no faces

We stopped for lunch and then loaded a water taxi for a cruise of the Potomac.

We then had one last stop at the US Capitol Building

Now back to the hotel -

To rest, relax and prepare for both presentations tomorrow.

Thank you for visiting!!!

We are so proud of all the students at John Muir Middle school and are proud to showcase their hard work.

We are excited to take our Mission 12 winners to Washington DC in June/July 2019 to present their findings as scientists at the Smithsonian at the annual SSEP Convention.

This event would not be possible without the support of several extremely important people in fundraising - especially the support of the California Resource Corporation and B. Joe Ashley, California Assemblymen Rudy Salas, the Hanford Soroptimist's, and the support of the media including Tina Botill and Jeanette Todd from the Corcoran Journal, the Hanford Sentinel, Cristina Davies and Brian T. Johnson from ABC 30, Roberto Ruiz Univison 21 and Michael Ikahihifo Fox 26.

We will be fundraising to support our Mission 13 young ladies as they will present their findings on their experiment which is launching in Mid-July. You can donate here.

Also, we are asking for a lot of help from SSEP and the NCESSE for fundraising in order to make Mission 14 a possibility on our campus. If you know of a possible Corporate Sponsor that could help us with Mission 14, please contact Dave Whitmore at dwhitmore@corcoranunified.com or if you are a corporate sponsor you can go directly to Jeff Goldstein at jeffgoldstein@ncesse.org.

Thank you!
