The Lakeview Educational Voyagers extend their heartfelt gratitude to all the generous donors whose contributions made it possible for them to embark on a memorable journey to Washington DC and New York with EF Tours. For over a year, students have dedicated themselves to fundraising efforts, tirelessly working to secure the resources needed for this educational adventure.

The outpouring of support from the community has been invaluable, and the Voyagers wish to express their deepest appreciation to all who contributed to their cause. Special thanks go to Posey’s Sports Center for designing two shirts for the trip, Bank of Montgomery, Fausto’s of Coushatta, IMPACT of Winnfield, Lakeview Pharmacy, Fields, Roy O. Martin and City Bank for their unwavering sponsorship.

A particularly noteworthy mention is owed to Weyerhaeuser for their extremely generous donation, which significantly alleviated the financial burden for multiple students, making this experience accessible to a broader range of participants.

As the trip approaches, the excitement among students and teachers is palpable. Those attending include Kelsey Cameron, Nathaniel Garner, Christian Coker, Ariel Joseph, Braylee Layfield-Bruce, Eleya Saba, and Alexia Moore. Accompanying them are dedicated educators Mrs. Goff and Ms. Hubbard.

During their excursion from Wednesday to Friday in Washington DC, the group will embark on a captivating itinerary, including visits to iconic landmarks such as the White House, Smithsonian Museum, Washington Monument, FDR Memorial, MLK Jr Memorial, and an array of other historical sites.

Transitioning to New York from Friday to Sunday, the adventurers will continue their exploration with visits to the Statue of Liberty, Wall Street, and the vibrant pulse of Times Square. Additionally, they’ll have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the cultural richness of the city, enjoying a Broadway show and experiencing the hustle and bustle of a subway ride—a quintessential New York experience.
