During the second week of June, Mrs. Smith took a group of 8th graders and one Freshman to Washington DC and Williamsburg, VA. They spent five days exploring many destinations which included Colonial Williamsburg, the Jamestown Settlement, Mt. Vernon, several Smithsonian’s, the Holocaust museum, many monuments, the Capital grounds, and of course the White House! It was educational, but also very memorable for each student. There was also a step competition involved. Mrs. Smith logged 20,187 steps total during one day’s excursions! Wow! How fun! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

What have our teachers and administrators been doing during summer break? They have been TRAINING! Several of our teachers went to GE training to learn the Great Expectation practices.

WRJH is a GE Model School and aspire to continue being one! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
