7th Grade Orientation-Wednesday, August 28, 2024

Fosston students recently had a wonderful experience traveling to Washington, D.C.! Because of our group's size, we joined Win-E-Mac. On the trip, students were able to visit many sites, including the Capitol Building, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Gettysburg, Arlington National Cemetery, Mount Vernon, Smithsonian Institute of National History, Smithsonian Institute of American History, and National Museum of the United States Army. Monuments visited were for the Pentagon (9/11), Jefferson, FDR, Lincoln, Washington, MLK, WWII, Marines, Vietnam War, and Korean War.
