Trip Tomorrow: 12/14/16

We will visit The Morgan Library & Museum tomorrow. We will take a bus there and back. Please make a note that this is a change from the original plan. No students will be dismissed in Manhattan.
Bring a lunch with you and we will eat once we return from the trip. You can store your lunch in your locker.

Prepare for the trip by reading about the author, Charlotte Bronte, and the exhibition, An Independent Will 

Please adhere to these guidelines for tomorrow's trip:

Be in full uniform. Students not in full uniform will not be allowed to attend.
Be on time. We will be leaving sometime during period 2.
Bring a notebook and pen so you can take notes during the tour.
Eat breakfast. We will not have a chance to eat until we return.
We will split up into two groups.
From our educators who will lead our tours:

We will meet your class at the front of the museum, take them to stow any coats and bags, and then we will divide in two for the remainder of your visit. (It speeds things up if these two groups are determined in advance.) Both groups will spend time studying primary materials in the Bronte exhibition and learning about J.P. Morgan and his historic 1906 library. At the end of the program we will reconvene downstairs to collect belongings and say good-bye. We are scheduled to be finished at 12.15.

During their visit of the Morgan students will participate in group discussions; be encouraged to talk, ask questions, and explore.

Kill Your Heroes

AWOLNATION

Well I met an old man dying on a train.
No more destination, no more pain.
Well he said one thing, before I graduate
"Never let your fear decide your fate."

I say ya kill your heroes and fly, fly, baby don't cry.
No need to worry 'cause, everybody will die.
Every day we just go, go, baby don't go.
Don't you worry we love you more than you know.

Well the sun one day will
Leave us all behind.
Unexplainable sightings
In the sky.
Well I hate to be
The one to ruin the night.
Right before your, right before your eyes.

I say ya kill your heroes and fly, fly, baby don't cry.
No need to worry 'cause, everybody will die.
Every day we just go, go, baby don't go.
Don't you worry we love you more than you know.

Well I met an old man dying on a train.
No more destination, no more pain.
Well he said one thing, before I graduate
"Never let your fear decide your fate."

I say ya kill your heroes and fly, fly, baby don't cry.
No need to worry 'cause, everybody will die.
Every day we just go, go, baby don't go.
Don't you worry we love you more than you know.

I say ya kill your heroes and fly, fly, baby don't cry.
No need to worry 'cause, everybody will die.
Every day we just go, go, baby don't go.
Don't you worry we love you more than you know.
