Jessica Yellin Instagram – AMERICA’S FIELD TRIP: APPLY NOW
Parents and teachers, take note: the US is giving free behind-the-scenes trips to US landmarks to students in grades 3-12. It’s all to commemorate our nation’s 250th anniversary — and the deadline to apply is this Friday.
Kids or students who apply could get exclusive free access to some of the most historic and majestic sites in the country. I spoke to Rosie Rios, chair of America250 and former US Treasurer, to find out more.
America’s Field Trip is a part of Congress’s commission to plan a celebration for the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. They’re offering incredible experiences at US National Parks and monuments, government sites and museums — with perks the general public doesn’t typically have access to, like going up to the Statue of Liberty’s crown and torch, or going behind the scenes at the Smithsonian, and more. If your student is interested in this sort of experience, they can enter the contest now, submitting artwork, a video, or an essay about what America means to them.
The deadline is this Friday, May 17. Students can apply at america250.org.
