STRATFORD FESTIVAL, OCT. 3, 2023

For years, the LCS English Department has taken a yearly trip to Stratford, Ontario, Canada to see a Shakespearean play at the Shakespeare Festival. We had to pause the trip from 2020-2022 due to border restrictions, but we are pleased to announce that we will be able to go to Stratford this coming fall to attend a production of KING LEAR. Please continue reading below for important information regarding the trip.

 The cost of the trip will be $100. This price includes a ticket to the play and transportation by Holiday Coach Bus Company.  To secure your place on this trip, sending in your payment by June 1, 2023 is preferred. However, we will be collecting payment in August as well for any spots that remain. The final deadline to submit payment is August 31, 2023. 

SENIOR TRIP –  WASHINGTON DC, MAY 17-21, 2024

Once again, the seniors will have the opportunity to travel to Washington, DC in May before they graduate. Washington, DC is an excellent location for a school trip as it provides opportunities for many areas of interest including government, history, art, biology, sports, culture, etc. Because much of what we do on the trip is centrally located and has free admission, we are able to do a lot while also keeping the cost of the trip down. This is also a trip that LCS knows well and has done successfully in the past, and we are confident that this year’s Senior Trip will be another great experience for our students. 

The details of the trip are still being worked out, but here are some of the things we are hoping to do either as a whole group or as small group options:

  • Tour the Capitol
  • Tour the White House
  • The Holocaust Museum
  • A night tour of the monuments in Washington including Lincoln, FDR, WWII, Vietnam Memorials
  • The Smithsonian Museums
  • A major league baseball game
  • The National Archives
  • Arlington National Cemetery and Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
  • Washington Monument
  • National Zoo

JUNIOR TRIP – GETTYSBURG, PA, MAY 18-21, 2024

This four day trip is part of the U.S. History curriculum and includes all junior students. A few highlight of this trip include: exploring the battlefield and museum in Gettysburg, Harper’s Ferry and the site of the pivotal battle of Antietam, Maryland.

8TH GRADE TRIP – THE ARK ENCOUNTER & CINCINNATI ZOO, JUNE 5-6, 2024

This is a great opportunity for the 8th graders to spend their last days of middle school learning about Noah’s ark and enjoying time visiting the Cincinnati zoo.  We will travel to Cincinnati, Ohio where we will cross the Ohio River and spend time at the Ark Encounter in Williamstown, Kentucky. The following day we will visit the Cincinnati Zoo before returning home.

Approximate student cost: $250.00
