Article for Helena Daily World!
Twenty-four 8th grade students + New York City = …. A recipe for success. Or so found Lauren Gillooly, Jamie Neuwirth, and Amy Lippe, all Teach for America Corps Members at Marvell High School.
Since August 2010, the three teachers have been planning the trip to New York City, organizing local fundraisers with their students and enlisting the support of family and friends outside the Delta to fund the $30,000 necessarily for a 3-day, 4-night tour of the city.
Last Friday, March 18, they departed from Marvell and traveled with 24 students, and 3 additional chaperones, Paulette Parker, Sylvia Moore, and Leroy Powell to New York City. For most of the students and chaperones, it was their first time on an airplane and, of course, in New York.
Over the course of three days, the group toured New York on foot, subway, bus, and ferry, visiting the Statue of Liberty, Ground Zero, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Natural History, the Museum of Modern Art, the New York Public Library, Rockefeller Center and Union Square. Highlights included attending “Memphis,” a celebrated musical on Broadway, and ice skating at Rockefeller Center.
Advice for future travelers to New York? “There are a lot of people, and bring someone who knows the city,” said eighth grader Mark English.

Videos of Ice Skating in Rockefeller Center
Although we were tired and sore from 3 full days of walking around NYC, everyone was excited to find out that the surprise event was a trip to the world famous Rockefeller Center to ice skate under the lights. For most of the students, this was their first time ever skating on real ice, but they didn't let their lack of experience stop them from having a great time!
