This summer, students from Belding Middle School will take an educational trip to Washington, D.C., to learn about American history and experience in-person the lessons taught in the Social Studies classroom every day. Seventeen Belding seventh and eighth grade students, parents and educators will travel to the nation’s capital from June 1-5 to visit the monuments and memorials that define American history, explore the exhibits of the Smithsonian Museums, and experience life-changing moments that spark personal growth.
