Mr. Stewart's blog from the AVID D.C. trip
Sent 5/24 12:02 am
It's been quite the fun time so far, honestly!
Takeoff was hysterical! All of the teachers were laughing as the kids
screamed and clutched onto their chairs like it was a new ride
at Elitches.
Memorials, and more memorials
Our first stop was Arlington National Cemetery. We stopped by
JFK's gravesite and continued up to the Tomb of the Unknowns.
There, we were able to spend time at the memorials of the USS Maine,
and the Challenger and Columbia Memorials. Lucky for us, we were
able to see not only the Changing of the Guard, but several
wreath-laying ceremonies.
Earlier in the walk, I split off to visit the gravesite of my father, who was a highly decorated Marine from Vietnam.
As most of the students were near death due to hunger, we made a brief stop at the Iwo Jima Memorial, then proceeded to Union Station for dinner. After eating an extremely healthy meal full of vegetables and organic whatevers, we swung over to visit the Vietnam Wall, Korean Memorial, and spend some time with Abe Lincoln and the Reflecting Pool.
�at the playground otherwise known as the Quality Inn�
Approximately 9 PM we proceeded to the playground otherwise known as the Quality Inn. Students did a wonderful job of expressing how they felt at the various locations throughout the day and were able to see the impact of military forces throughout the history of our country.
I am quite tired from my police action siege of the hallways.

Days 2&3, Thursday, Friday
Ok, after a night off due to sleep and another night off due to a failed wireless connection, here we are again! We're currently sitting in the hotel lobby awaiting breakfast to be served and our final day to begin. The group is really excited to see Mt. Vernon and the Holocaust Museum before boarding the plane tonight to see you.
So, here's a brief update about the last two days.. On Thursday, we had a great day! We started off with a good breakfast (can you tell I am hungry right now?), then went off to DC in the hopes of getting into the Capitol for a tour. As our luck decided to show us, we arrived to find absolutely no line whatsoever! We did have to wait approximately 2 hrs before we got into the building, but it was worth it. Walking in and looking up was amazing! The rotunda is one of the most impressive artistic creations we've seen. We did have the chance to see the old Senate room which is now full of statues, then we explored the crypt that has many more historical pieces.
From the Capitol, we proceeded to the National Archives, where we attempted to steal the Declaration of Independence to pursue great fortune and glory by finding the treasures of the Masons' Guild. In all actuality we enjoyed a walk through written history and observed several impressive exhibits (including the Declaration that was quite heavily guarded). Students were most impressed with the Constitution because there was very minimal fading.
Next stop was the Natural History Museum. We had only an hour to see as much as we could, and oddly enough all of the groups wanted to see the same exact stuff: Dinosaurs and Diamonds! After sprinting through some incredible fossils and dioramas, my group took a walk through the new Portrait exhibit and on to see Gems and Minerals. I thought I was going to have to drag Autumn out kicking and screaming as she was heavily drooling on the Hope Diamond.
Dinner happened at a 4-story mall that we let the kids explore (and spend) for an hour. They came out with much silly string and candy in preparation for a great siege that would occur later that night. Luckily, we ambushed the bulk of their forces and they were sound asleep by midnight, though the rest of the group wouldn't go down without a hard fight. We did manage to hit the Jefferson and FDR Memorials before calling it good for the day.
Friday brought about several more adventures, but that story will be shared later today as breakfast is finally served! Oh, my apology for the lack of pictures, but there are some on the way soon.

Denver Public Schools held the 23rd annual Shakespeare Festival at the Denver Performing Arts Complex Friday, May 11, 2007.
Centennial K-8 was well represented at the Festival by several teams of Middle School thespians.
The Spirit of Shakespeare Award went to Taylor Jenkins for her individual performance and also two of our ensemble groups.
In a clever twist on �Romeo and Juliet� Maverick Sandoval, Luis Zarate and Elias Flores took one of the team awards and the other went to Kristopher Maestas, Dominic Lucero, and Paul Perez for their adaptation of a scene from �As You Like It�.
This is an amazing event and one that Centennial children cherish as an opportunity to stretch beyond the regular curriculum.
Thanks to Ms. Christine Dunning, for her marvelous direction and to the Gifted and Talented Department of Denver Public School for providing this stage for the creativity of the children in our city.

Basketball season in full swing
The Centennial Middle school basketball teams are competing
in the DPS basketball league for the first time in our schools history.
Playing in the Central division, the girls are 2-3. The boys are
"building character" at 0-5, and came close to that first win last week
against Grant, losing in overtime.
