It's off to Washington, D.C., soon for 45 Ada eighth grade students and six chaperones.

The group will leave on the evening of April 15 and return April 19 after touring monuments and memorials, including the Holocaust Museum and laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Mike Styer is trip coordinator. This is the 16th trip to D.C. he has organized for Ada students.
The students earned money for the trip by selling Mothers' Day flowers and 50/50 tickets at basketball games.
