CJSF Field Trip

Olivia, Taylor, Mandy and Alexa
Taylor had a very long, but fun day on her CJSF field trip today.  I dropped her off at the bus at 6:45am for the drive to the Museum of Tolerance in LA.  They toured the museum, learning about the Holocaust and even meeting a Holocaust survivor. They learned about prejudice and discrimination historically and today.
Then they were back on the bus for a tour of the UCLA campus.  They got a campus tour, visited the bookstore/gift shop and had some time to walk around.  With college only four years away, I hope this will at least get her thinking about what she needs to do to go where she would like to go.
It was a long drive home through rush hour traffic and a quick dinner stop at McDonald's before I picked her up at 8:30pm.  I think she was just happy to miss a day in the classroom!
