On an unforgettable educational trip to Panama, our 8th grades students explored the historic ruins of Old Panama City, witnessed the engineering marvel of the Panama Canal, and immersed themselves in the rich traditions of indigenous cultures. Along with the excitement of exploring a new country together, they also engaged in meaningful service projects, giving back to local communities while gaining a deeper appreciation for global responsibility. Amid these adventures, students dedicated time each day to learn about Israel with our favorite Israeli trip guide and old friend, Shai, drawing connections between diverse cultures, histories, and shared values. This once-in-a-lifetime journey offered a unique blend of hands-on learning, cultural exploration, and personal growth. Check out some of the photos from their fabulous adventure here, and if you'd like to get the full news of the trip, feel free to browse their letters home below.
