Last stop: Navy Pier

Before we hit the road home, the students visited Navy Pier!

Lincoln Park Zoo

On our last day in Chicago, the students had the chance to visit the Lincoln Park Zoo!

Don't look down...

After eating, the students visited the Willis tower and went on the Skydeck, which is famous for their glass boxes, which visitors can step out onto! While some were scared to step on, others conquered their fear of heights!

The Deep Dish

After the museum, we visited Giordanos, known for their stuffed pizza. All the students agreed it was really good and they only had 2 slices!

Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center

Today we are visiting the museum to learn about the history of what happened. Due to rules, we couldn't bring in cameras or phones.

The End of the First Day!

After our service project, we decided to go out to eat! While some went to Grand Luxe, others ate at the Rainforest Cafe!

That's a big bean!

Yesterday we visited the big bean at the Millennium Park!

Service project

We just volunteered for South Shore and a lot of students liked it. The students realized that kids from the Chicago community are very similar to each other!

Show me the money!

We are currently at the Federal Reserve Bank here in Chicago! Here the students are learning about how money is made and processed through videos and interactive stimulations!

Fish and reptiles and sharks! Oh my!

We just visited the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago! The students had a lot of fun learning about the different species of marine life! Next up: Federal Reserve Bank!

To the aquarium!

After a long drive, we stopped for breakfast at a McDonalds. We just stopped through the tollbooth quick on our way to Shedd Aquarium! And some of the students are pretty tired!
