The story
About this campaign
For 15 years, the 8th grade trip to Washington, D.C. has been a Maple Ridge tradition. Students walk the National Mall, visit the Smithsonian museums, and see the Capitol where the laws they study are made.
But the trip costs $780 per student, and last year 23 kids stayed home because their families couldn't pay.
This year, we want every 8th grader on that bus. Your gift covers scholarships for any family that needs one, so cost is never the reason a student misses out.
The trip includes:
- Round-trip charter bus and three nights in a group hotel
- Guided tours of the Capitol, Smithsonian museums and monuments
- All meals, plus chaperones at a 1-to-8 ratio
