We are just starting to search for Grants for field trips, specifically for Washington DC. I would very much appreciate receiving a copy of your grant list.
We have two bedrooms available for male/female students. Includes bathroom, storage, bed, desk, mirror, lighting and dressers. 3 meals a day but snacks are not part of it. Contact by e-mail at [email removed]
Thank you for your hard work. Were you successful in getting a grant? We have no buses at our school and it is almost impossible to get a field trip for that reason. It would be great to be able to hire buses so that obstacle is taken away.
