The Class of 2025 enjoyed an unforgettable two-day trip to Washington, DC, from May 28 to 29 (Wednesday to Thursday), filled with learning, inspiration, and fun.
After an early departure from YCQ, students boarded the buses and began their journey to DC with a stop in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, for a beautiful Rosh Chodesh t’filah. Once the group arrived in Washington, students visited the National Holocaust Museum and Memorial, where they engaged with powerful and moving exhibits that deepened their understanding of the Shoah and Jewish resilience.
Students then had the opportunity to see the US Capitol building up close. They also heard from one of Congresswoman Grace Meng’s staff members, giving them a unique insight into government and civic responsibility. The day continued with a monument tour, a photo stop at the White House, and souvenir shopping. The evening featured dinner and a fun time at Dave and Buster’s.
On Thursday, the class spent the day at Six Flags Great Adventure, enjoying thrilling rides, games, and time with friends. The trip was a perfect combination of inspiration, education, bonding, and celebration, creating lasting memories. Thank you to Mr. Jacob Grossman and the chaperones for making the trip so successful!
