The fifth grade field trip to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty is one of my favorite events. I am always inspired by this special lady - the hopes, the dreams, the opportunities, the courage... and I love the trip with my special fifth grader, my Harry and his friends. The boys' favorite time, I would have to say, was playing tag in the grassy area on the island. It was such a beautiful sight for me, see the picture below.
