Washington trip 2

Eighth Grade Students Travel to Washington D.C.!
A group of nine students traveled on a school field trip to Washington D.C. This trip sets a historical precedent for our school since this is the first group of students visiting our nation's capital. The students were treated like Hollywood stars! They were taken to and back from the airport in limousine! Once in Washington, we visited and toured Capitol Hill, Arlington National Cemetery where we visited the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier & John F. Kennedy's Gravesite. We also visited the Washington Monument, The Lincoln, World War ll, Korean, Iwo Jima, & Vietnam Memorials, the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts, Udvar-Hazy Air & Space, American History, and Holocaust Museums. Finally, we toured Embassy Road and had a spectacular view of the National Cathedral and for a night of fun in town we played games at ESPN! (See more pictures below)

Girls Basketball team makes it to the CPS Play-offs!
Our girls' team, ASPIRA Pitirres, made it all the way to their division play-offs last March. They finished their season with a record of 8-3 under the leadership and coaching of Mr. Steven Sullivan.  The team was defeated by Gray School during the play-off season but we commend them for making it that far! Go ASPIRA Pitirres!
