The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) are sponsoring a unique opportunity for the youth of our country (grades 3-12) to participate in a Nationwide contest that invites students to share their perspectives on what America means to them. Students will have a chance to earn an unforgettable field trip experience at some of the nations’s most iconic historic and cultural landmarks.
Today’s young people are the leaders, innovators, and thinkers who will shape the next 250 years — and it’s important their voices are heard as we commemorate this historic milestone.
Students are asked to submit writing or original artwork in response to the contest’s prompt: “What does America mean to you?”
In honor of America’s 250th anniversary, America’s Field Trip is expanding with more exciting field trips, and more opportunities for students to win. A total of 250 students will be awarded a special behindthe- scenes field trip experience this summer or a cash prize.
