My Burdock Roots

02/16/2025

Cedar Rapids Washington is very excited to announce the return of a long cherished tradition, an educational Chicago trip for our upperclassmen, where they will have the opportunity to experience some of the city’s most iconic cultural and architectural landmarks.
On this trip, AP Art students will be joined by students from our World and US Humanities classes on a guided tour of the Art Institute of Chicago, one of the nation’s premier art museums. Afterward, students will visit the John Hancock Center and have an amazing experience with the Chicago skyline.
If you are able to contribute, any amount toward assisting students in need and ensuring that this trip remains accessible to all, I would greatly appreciate your support!
Thank you for considering this opportunity to help our students gain a deeper understanding of art, history, and the vibrant culture of Chicago. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or if you would like to discuss how you can contribute. My Burdock Roots plans to gift merchandise for students to sell at upcoming events.
