Washington, DC

Capital of the United States For a student to be able attend this trip, they MUST be accompanied by a parent/guardian.

This means one parent/guardian for every student. This image was taken by Mr. Housch on February 21, 2018. We only planning on taking two buses to Washington, D.C.

Once they are filled up, nobody else is allowed to accompany us on the trip. This image was taken near the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial by Mr. Housch on November 11, 2015. This field trip will include the following items/rules that should be followed:

South Western High School students who served as student aides on a training trip in September, 2010. They are near President Kennedy’s grave at Arlington National Cemetery. This image is courtesy of Allysia Smith. Scavenger Hunt Worksheet: To keep you focused on what we want you to notice, there will be a Scavenger Hunt worksheet to fill out.

This scavenger hunt worksheet began at the Washington Monument. The one we will probably fill out begins at the Lincoln Memorial. This image is courtesy of mrhousch.com. Clothing: We expect students to dress their best. Going on tours through the White House and the Capitol is a special event, and we want students to look their best.

In 1962 First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy gave a televised tour of the White House. In this photograph she is standing in the State Dining Room. This image is courtesy of politicsandstyle.blogspot.com. Ties are not required for boys, and skirts are not required for girls, but otherwise, please make sure that you wear clothes that will proudly represent yourselves and the South Western School District. Blue Jeans, shorts, and T- Shirts are not allowed. Boys must wear shirts with collars.

Punctuality continues with not bringing things through security checkpoints that will slow the whole group down.

President Obama set off a metal detector at the northwest gate of the White House December, 2011 because he was carrying a cell phone. This image is courtesy of whitehouse.gov. Punctuality also continues with not wandering away from the group and/or being encouraged to keep up with the group.

The faster we move in Washington, the more places that we will be able to see. This image is courtesy of theinternettimemachine.com. Know your schedule. Know where you are supposed to be and what time you are supposed to be there.

The schedule is a very tight schedule. If we cannot be where we are supposed to be on time, then we will have to skip seeing some places/events. This image is courtesy of mrhousch.com. Behavior: Students will act their best at all times. We are representing the South Western School District.

Uncle Sam, a figure who is a symbolic representation of the United States, approves Theodore Roosevelt as President. This image is courtesy of encore-editions.com. Nothing shiny will be used that will distract the bus driver at any time.

When we leave it will be dark. We do not need lights from hand held electronic devices distracting the bus driver as he/she attempts to safely maneuver us through Washington, D.C. “Beltway traffic.” This image is courtesy of foxnews.com. Eat breakfast before you reach the school.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but don’t eat this stuff as you will die years before you should. This image is courtesy of motifake.com. Water is the only item allowed to be consumed on the bus.

Other drinks have elements that are sticky if spilled which are difficult to clean up and which attract insects and other undesirable items. This image is courtesy of ktsm.com. You need to bring money for lunch at McDonalds ($8-$10)

The McDonalds in Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum is very large, and has a variety of food choices. This image is courtesy of mrhousch.com. Students may bring cameras, cell phones, and electronic devices to listen to music and books on tape with earpieces. Other electronic devices are forbidden.

If you choose to bring expensive items along, however, you need to understand that a few times these items will have to be left on the bus, such as when we go through the White House and the Capitol.

OK, it’s probably not going to get this bad, but drivers do leave the buses to get lunch and to use the restroom. Your items will be unprotected on the bus. This image is courtesy of preservepennhurst.org. The school and staff are not responsible for any item(s) left on the bus.

Keep the items that you bring to Washington to a minimum. This image is courtesy of baltimoresun.com. We need to keep the number of metal items to a minimum. First, because we will have to go through more than a few metal detectors, and with almost a hundred chaperones and students, we need to go through quickly.

Be prepared.

The individuals are walking across the National Mall. The United States Capitol Dome is in the background. This image is courtesy of bbc.co.uk. Do not drink too much liquid before you arrive at the school. We hope it will be a two hour bus ride, but you never know. Be prepared for a lengthy delay before you are able to use a restroom.

One of the worst beverages to drink before our two hour or longer bus ride is coffee. This image is courtesy of jumpedoffabridge.blogspot.com. 4:00 AM Students arrive at Emory H. Markle Intermediate School

These are not students from our school district. They are on a nice coach bus. We will be on a less comfortable school bus. Depending on how many people are on the bus, however, we might be able to spread out and have more room. This image is courtesy of sleepyschoolbus.com. We will leave Pennsylvania, drive through Maryland, cross the Potomac River into Virginia, drive down the George Washington Parkway, and again cross the Potomac River into Washington.

Maryland Potomac River

Virginia 7:00 AM If Buses are fortunate enough to have light traffic and arrive this early, students will use the restrooms on the mall and work with their scavenger hunt sheets to see the following monuments:

We will cross into the District of Columbia over the Potomac River which is located at the bottom of the picture. We will start near the Lincoln Memorial. This image is courtesy of savethemall.org. The Lincoln Memorial…

The Lincoln Memorial was dedicated in 1922. This image by Carol M. Highsmith, was taken on May 16, 2010. It is courtesy of Wikimedia Commons. … inside of the Lincoln Memorial is this famous statue of President Abraham Lincoln.

The Abraham Lincoln statue was completed by Daniel Chester French in 1920. This image is courtesy of mrhousch.com. The Vietnam Veterans Memorial…

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial was made of black granite to reflect the person observing the memorial. This image by Mario Ortiz was taken on December 26, 2011 and it is courtesy of Wikimedia Commons. …which contains the names of the 58,195 Americans killed in Vietnam (1957-1975).

Some visitors make pencil rubbings of the name on the wall. This image was taken by Hu Totya on September 18, 2006. It is courtesy of Wikimedia Commons. The World War II Memorial…

There are 19 stainless steel statues representing a squad on patrol. Each statue is over seven feet tall and weighs approximately 1000 pounds. This image is courtesy of Allysia Smith. …which also has its own reflective wall.

The United States had 54,246 people die during the Korean War (1950-1953). This image is courtesy of Wikimedia Commons. The restrooms at the Lincoln Memorial and this part of “the Mall” may not be open at this time. Walk around the monuments using the scavenger hunt sheet to take your mind off the large coffee and orange juice that you unfortunately drank this morning.

The restrooms at the Lincoln Memorial are clean, and much better than the circular restrooms on the mall. Unfortunately, neither might be open when we arrive. This image is courtesy of dchillin.tumblr.com. 7:55 AM Buses are loaded on the north side of the Lincoln Memorial, and are driven to the White House.

The Lincoln Memorial is near the Potomac River on the bottom left of this image. The White House is near the upper right of this image. This image is courtesy of googlemaps.com. 8:00 AM Buses drive to the White House near the Ellipse and 15th Street. If students/teachers/chaperones have not had the opportunity to use the restroom this is the time to use the restrooms at the Ellipse.

The Ellipse is the large circular grassy area. The White House is north of the Ellipse. The Ellipse restroom is between the Ellipse and 15th Street shown on the right of this picture. This image is courtesy of wilesmensch.com. If we have used the restrooms, we will quickly move to the south side of the White House to take pictures on the Ellipse.

Cameras with good telephoto lenses can take better pictures than this. The President’s helicopter lands and takes off on the south lawn of the White House near the fountain. This image was taken by Robert Housch on January 16, 2016. 8:15 AM Students, Chaperones, Teachers, and Administrators will line up in alphabetical order by last name. Cameras with detachable lenses/gum food will be back on the Buses or in a garbage can. Groups will check in with Security at the southeast side of the White House.

Crowds lined up to tour the Eisenhower White House in 1956. We will not be this close when he enter our first security checkpoint. This image was taken by Walter Reed. 8:30-8:50 AM Groups will tour the White House. Even though it is called “The People’s House” do not touch anything going through the house except for your feet touching the floor.

This is the south side of the White House. We will enter the east wing, which is out of sight on the right of this picture. This image was taken by Matt H. Wade and is courtesy of Wikimedia Commons. We will go through the East Wing area (near the First Lady’s Office) through the ground floor, then up to the first floor.

We enter on the right of this image near the room labeled “Library.” This image is courtesy of visitingdc.com. After going through security, we will enter the east wing of the White House.

The east wing is where the First Lady and her staff have their offices. This image was taken by Robert Housch on November 18, 2015. Here we will start to see not only the architecture, but the Presidential portraits.

Every President and First Lady had an official portrait made. The originals are lining the walls in the rooms in which we will be walking. This image was taken by Robert Housch on November 18, 2015. This is a view of the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden. We will be walking towards the center section of the White House.

We will not walk on the outside through the garden. This image was taken by Robert Housch on January 16, 2016. We will walk inside the East Colonnade. Photographs of the first family are along the wall.

On the other side of the wall on the right is a movie theater and the First Lady's office. This image was taken by Robert Housch on November 18, 2015. Some rooms that we will see include the Library…

The White House Library has a collection of 2700 books written by American authors or about American History. It is often used for small meetings. This image was taken by Robert Housch on November 4, 2015. …the Vermeil Room…

The Vermeil Room is painted a shade of yellow to complement a collection of vermeil (gilded silver). This image was taken by Robert Housch on November 4, 2015. …the China Room…

The China Room displays state or family china from almost every president. The collection is arranged alphabetically beginning to the right of the fireplace. This image was taken by Robert Housch on November 4, 2015. …then we will move upstairs to the East Room.

The East Room is on the first floor. This image is courtesy of visitingdc.com. The East Room is the largest room in the White House.

The East Room is traditionally used for large gatherings such as dances, award presentations, press conferences, and bill-signing ceremonies. This image was taken by Robert Housch on November 4, 2015. We then move into the Green Room…

The Green Room is decorated with furniture from the Federal Period (1789-1800). It is has used for a variety of purposes including as a small parlor for hosting guests and encouraging informal conversation. This image is was taken by Robert Housch on November 4, 2015. … the Blue Room…

The oval shaped Blue Room has furniture from the time of President James Monroe (1821-1829). It has been the traditional place for presidents to formally receive guests. This image is courtesy of keywordsuggestions.com. … the Red Room…

Furnished in the Empire style of 1810-1830, the Red Room is one of the four state reception rooms at the White House. This image was taken by Robert Housch on November 18, 2015. … the State Dining Room…

The State Dining Room can be configured to seat as many as 140 guests. The State Dining Room is used to hosts dinners for leaders from foreign countries or “Heads of State.” This image was taken by Robert Housch on November 18, 2015. … and the Family Dining Room.

The First Families took their meals in this room prior to the creation of a new family dining room in the private quarters in 1961. This room is regularly used to host small official events and as a showcase for modern art. This image was taken by Robert Housch on January 16, 2016. We will then start to exit out the Cross Hall.

The Cross Hall allows access to the Entrance Hall, the East Room, the Blue Room, the Green Room, the Red Room, and the State Dining Room. This photo shows how we have exited out of the State Dining Room (to our back right) and are walking towards the East Room which is at the end of the hallway. This image was taken by Robert Housch on November 4, 2016. In the past, some inconsiderate people slow the whole tour down by pausing to have their picture taken beneath the Presidential Seal and by the Presidential Flag.

This area is where the Cross Hall meets the Entrance Hall. The Blue Room is behind the clueless tourist. This image was taken by Matthew Housch on January 16, 2016. We will finally exit out of the Front Lobby/Entrance Hall.

The Entrance Hall is on the north side of the White House, near the North Portico. The front door to the left center is open, and there is a lot of sunlight streaming through it. This image was taken by Robert Housch on November 4, 2015. One more time that people take to interrupt the traffic flow is to pause and have their picture taken by the front door of the White House.

The front door is on the north side of the White House. This image was taken by Thomas Clark on November 4, 2015. We will exit from the North Side of the White House at the door in the center of the columns.

After exiting the center door we will go to the left of this image and walk down the driveway to Pennsylvania Avenue. This image is courtesy of whitehousemuseum.org. We will not be visiting the residence on the second floor or the West Wing where the President’s office is located.

We will exit out of the North Portico which is on the left of the White House. The West Wing, where the Presidential staff works at the structure closest to the camera. This image is courtesy of visitingdc.com. 8:50 AM Groups walk east on Pennsylvania Avenue and south on 15th Street towards the Ellipse to load their Buses. Please walk quickly as the Buses may be double parked on 15th Street.

The section of Pennsylvania Avenue which runs north of the White House is not shown on this map. 15th Street is not marked, but it is the vertical street to the left of 14th Street. This image is courtesy of itdc.com. 9:00 AM Buses are loaded and will drive to Arlington National Cemetery.

We will drive across the Arlington Memorial Bridge, which crosses the Potomac River, towards Arlington National Cemetery. The Custis-Lee Mansion is shown at Arlington on the hill above the bridge. This image was taken by Mario Ortiz on December 26, 2011. This image is courtesy of Wikimedia Commons. 9:15 AM Buses arrive at Arlington National Cemetery Visitor Center. Groups will use the restrooms in the Visitor Center. These are some of the best/largest/cleanest restrooms on the trip. This is also a good opportunity to fill up water bottles if one has them.

This is the north entrance to the Arlington National Cemetery Visitors Center. We usually enter on the east side. This image was taken on September 17, 2011. This image is courtesy of Wikimedia Commons. Groups will be quiet and respectful for their time at Arlington.

This image shows one of the entrance signs to Arlington National Cemetery. This image is courtesy of Mr. Tom Clark. 9:25 AM Groups should be walking to President Kennedy’s Grave and to the top of the hill to the Custis-Lee Mansion (Arlington House)…

The Tomb of the Unknowns contains the remains of unknown United States service members from World War I, World War II, and the Korean War. This image is courtesy of warfoto.com. If there is another ceremony after the Changing of the Guard ceremony, we do not have time to attend it. We need to be moving towards the Buses as soon as the “Changing of the Guard” ceremony is finished.

From October 1st to March 31st the ceremony occurs on the hour. This image is courtesy of stusnews.fcps.com. 10:10 AM Groups will walk back to Buses. There may another ceremony starting at the Tomb of the Unknowns, but we don’t have time to see it. As soon as the Changing of the Guard Ceremony is finished, please quietly slip away towards the Arlington Cemetery Visitor Center. This is the last opportunity to use the Arlington Cemetery Visitor Center restrooms.
