Class trip to Burke-Lakefront Airport

Ten of the High School students attended the outing along with Dr. Minton and Dinah Arvinger to Burke Lake Front Air Port for the Cleveland synergy for upcoming contracts with the Airport, Continental Airlines, the City of Cleveland and RTA.

Virtual School House should be proud to have these students. Our students were the only students that attended the event out of every school in Cleveland.

Both Dr. Minton and I received complements for the students conduct and behavior. Initially we demonstrated to our students, how to go to the vendors and ask about the industry and collect information.

We split up and groups and let the students gain exposure through experience.

The students were excited about their accomplishments. They had so much to share and they even spent time with the initial Tuskegee Airman and had some paraphernalia autograph by them.

All of our students were dressed alike in uniform. Some were asked what company they represented. The students said, they felt they were under dressed and should have been informed to dress in business attire.
