On Thursday, October 23, 2014, Grandma's Gifts aiding in paying for a group of Maysville High School photography and engineering students to take a trip to Pittsburgh to experience the arts! Below you will see a letter from the teacher that organized the trip as well as photos of the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, Ducky Tour, First Presbyterian Church, and Carnegie Museum of Art. One of the highlights of the trip were students experience with a revolving doorway... check out the letter below to see what we mean. We were excited to help with such a trip and enjoy supporting the arts. We also LOVE working with and supporting great teachers like Kurt!
This trip cost Grandma's Gifts $350 (ducky tour) + $420 (Carnegie tickets) = $770. Thank you to our donors for making this trip possible! We look forward to supporting the arts and field trips to support the arts in the future!

Hi Emily,
Wow what a great trip we had yesterday! The trip was really made possible because of you and your family's generosity. The kids were also truly grateful with is sometimes a surprising thing with kids now. Beautiful weather, interested and well behaved kids, great tour guides. I had nothing but great responses!

4:30-5:00ish Dinner at the “O”.

It was very fun seeing the students experience new things...particularly hilarious was the students' first experience with a revolving doorway...it really is amazing what experiences I sometimes take for granted. ... I do really appreciate all you did for my students, it was a blessing that would not have happened without you. Please pass on my thanks to all involved on your end.
If you would like more pictures I can send them to you but the ones that I sent you are very representative of what we did.
