Orientation (6/17/23)



 THE DAY IS HERE!!😊


Parents and students arrived at the Holiday Inn in Des Moines on Saturday, June 17th. They were greeted by the chaperones (Shelly, Thresa, Ashley, Katie, Clayton, and Andrew) with their swag bag, name tag, and snack bag. 

Shelly met with the parents and students and reviewed the trip's agenda and the do's and don'ts. After the meeting, the parents were dismissed and the students went to dinner. There were hamburgers, pulled pork sandwiches, potato salad, cookies, chips, lemonade and water.


After supper, we played some ice breakers games to get everybody's nerves gone. We played bingo, spoons, trivia, rock paper scissors, a tower of cards, and 20 questions with their travel group. The kids had a lot of fun and already started to make a lot of friends. The delegates voted 5 people onto the snack CO-OP. The students also wrote letters for the hero flight.







After meeting with roommates and travel groups, everyone headed to their room for a 10pm room check.

 4am wake-up call the next day........

Goodnight DC!
