2027 Washington, D.C. Trip
Dear Parents and Students,
I am excited to announce that I will lead a group of Peterson Learning Center students on a WorldStrides program to
Washington, D.C.. On this once-in-a-lifetime adventure, students will explore our nation's most important historical sites
and experience incomparable learning moments. This will be a trip that your child will be talking about for years to come!
Your child will return home excited to tell you about:
• Standing where Martin Luther King, Jr., delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech at the Lincoln Memorial
• Discovering the true meaning of sacrifice at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
• Walking in the footsteps of our great leaders on Capitol Hill
• Exploring numerous Smithsonian Museums, like the National Museum of Natural History and the American
History Museum
I have chosen to travel with WorldStrides because of their exceptional service, their 50 years of experience, their safety
record, and their preventive measures that ensure learning occurs in a safe and fun environment. I will chaperone the
program with other teachers as needed, and throughout the program our group will be guided by a WorldStrides-certified
Course Leader. Since this is not a school sponsored trip, we will not be attending as representatives or
employees of the school.
There will be a trip information meeting to discuss this wonderful opportunity on Tuesday, May 12, 2026 at 6:30
minute meeting where I’ll share more information about WorldStrides, review some of the trip highlights, and explain some
of the tools available to help pay for the trip. I strongly encourage you to attend this meeting. Please read through all the
details of this letter including a sample itinerary on the back of this page, and visit www.worldstrides.com/signup for more
details about WorldStrides and our group's trip. If you have any questions, you can contact me at (615)245-5532, or via
I would love for your child to join us on this unforgettable trip!
