FIELD TRIP ITINERARY
On Thursday, July 11th, 2024, KMA will visit: The National Museum of African American History and Culture 1400 Constitution Ave NW Washington DC 20560
Due to the sensitive nature of content within museum, our visit will be a guided tour exclusive to KMA, focusing solely on music and arts achievement of African Americans. Lunch will be provided on site for our students by: Sweet Home Café, the museum’s onsite restaurant facility.
RECITAL
To culminate a week-long of hard work and creativity, KMA will feature our students’ learning in a performance recital production! Students will be given the opportunity to display their talents on stage at the Kingdom Worship Center. This event is for the entire family, in celebration of an amazing week of discovery, exploration, and the arts! We cannot wait to have you join us: Friday July 12th at 5:00pm.
LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
It is our goal to ensure that all students have an enjoyable and fulfilling experience as a participant in our program. We ask for your support in reminding students to remain with their designated Academy leaders to ensure their safety. Further, we ask that electronic devices, toys, and other personal items that may cause or become a distraction to the learning environment remain at home. If your child needs to carry a mobile phone, it must remain off and put away during the program day. Kingdom Fellowship/Kingdom Music Academy is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
