Lenox Memorial Middle High School Students Explore Washington, D.C.

For immediate release

LENOX — Principal Jeremiah Ames is pleased to share that more than 100 Lenox Memorial Middle High School students recently traveled to Washington, D.C.

For four days in March, 105 LMMHS sophomores and juniors explored the nation’s capital. The annual Washington trip has been strictly for juniors in the past, but moving forward it will be a sophomore trip. This year, the transition year, LMMHS allowed both classes to participate to ensure no student missed the opportunity.

The trip is designed to augment the broad spectrum of curriculums offered at LMMHS. Most often, at least half of a group attending this trip has never traveled to the capital.

Students visited a variety of museums and monuments including the White House and National Mall, WWII Memorial, Arlington National Cemetery, the Smithsonian Institution Museums, the Holocaust Memorial Museum, the Lincoln Memorial, and the U.S. Museum of African-American History and Culture, among others.

The D.C. trip was coordinated by LMMHS staff members Sara Hamilton, Robin Getzen, David Pugh, and Lisa Wespiser.

“This trip to our nation’s capital is an event that our students look forward to each year,” said Principal Ames. “Not only is it a wonderful opportunity for Lenox students to get out of the classroom and experience the world outside of Lenox, but the trip allows our students to take what they’ve learned from the curriculum and apply it to real-world experiences. Thank you to all of the trip’s coordinators and everyone involved in making the D.C. trip successful!”

DC weather: Taste of summer turns to storms Sunday night into Monday morning

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Forecasters are calling for a near-perfect spring setup on Sunday, with plenty of sunshine, blooming cherry blossoms, and temperatures soaring into the low to mid-80s across much of the region.

However, the warm, quiet weather won’t last long.

By the numbers:

After a cool start in the upper 40s and low 50s, temperatures are rising quickly under sunny skies. Many areas are expected to climb into the 80s this afternoon, with some spots pushing the mid to upper 80s.

It’s a brief but welcome preview of summer, and conditions couldn’t be better for getting outside.

With cherry blossoms nearing peak bloom, it’s an ideal day to head to the Tidal Basin, take a walk, or spend time outdoors with family and friends.

What we know:

A strong cold front moving in from Pennsylvania will bring increasing clouds later on Sunday, followed by a chance for showers and thunderstorms late Sunday night into early Monday.

Some storms could produce damaging winds or even small hail, especially to the north.

By Monday, the cold front pushes through, bringing a noticeable change.

Gusty winds up to 30+ mph develop in the afternoon
Temperatures fall back to more typical early spring levels
Morning showers taper off, with improving conditions later in the day

What’s next:

Looking ahead, the pattern stays active.

After a brief warm-up into the 60s midweek, another strong cold front is expected Thursday into Friday, bringing the next chance for unsettled weather.
