Students receive advice from Alvin & Kendall Sell. “ Now, don’t get lost!”

The senior trip to New York was nothing short of a blessing from God. The students were wonderful, the weather was beautiful and we made it there and back safely without any difficulty. Visiting the “Big Apple” and seeing all the diversity always reminds me of how wonderful it is to live in a free country.

Seniors in the subway. “ Do we look like tourists?”

We managed to squeeze in the “must see” locations such as the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Wall Street, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Times Square, Grand

Central Station, the Empire State Building, Central Park, 5th Avenue, Rockefeller Center and the Metropolitan Museum. In addition, the students visited the World Trade Center site. They reflected on those who perished at the hands of terrorists who seek to destroy our way of life and the brave men and women who work to protect us from them. There was also lots of time to experience the various cultures and cuisine in China Town and Little Italy. We also experienced the culture and cuisine at Shea Stadium as we ate hot dogs and watched the Mets play before the enthusiastic New Yorkers all around us.

Whether we were watching a musical from the balcony of a Broadway theater, riding a subway train beneath the streets or on the corner buying knock-off merchandise from street peddlers, we were having a good time—together.
