day to dress up and be a little silly. Some

people even made their own costumes and

created their own Super Heroes.

The trip was very fun. The

rides were awesome. We tried

The Simpsons and Mummy Rides.

We took The Studio Tour which

was amazing. We saw how they

make movies. I would like to

spend time over there again.

(Tucker Frazier, 6A)

It was so fun. We first

watched Shrek 4-D and it was

so much better than 3-D.

Later we took The Studio Tour

and saw the sets of movies. I

liked the Mummy Ride because

it was so exciting. We also

saw the Water World show.

There were jet skis and big

explosions and it was like a

real 3-D movie. The Simpsons

Ride was awesome too. So, we

had lots of fun. I love Uni-

versal Studios.

(Francis Russo, 6A)

We enjoyed Universal Studios

Overall, it was

a trip worth taking

and going on again.

Students received a

free parking pass for

a future trip with their

families. They also

took with them an

opportunity to see

some of the finest art

that California has to

offer.

. On Fri-day, January 22nd, MSA-4 had a field trip to the J. Paul Getty Center in Los Angeles. Even though it was a

rainy day it did not slow down the stu-dents from getting an opportunity to see what the Getty Cen-ter had to offer.

Due to the rain students had to start their trip eating their lunches on the buses. Once they finished they made their way to the tram that took them to the museum. The stu-

dents enjoyed the scenic views while they ascended uphill.

Once the stu-dents excited the tram, students were broken up into groups with different chaper-ones and their tour began. Each group went a separate route and all had a different experience at the Getty. Mr. Plonka’s group traveled at a high pace trying to see all four wings and even took time to en-joy the scenic views and landscaping of the Getty. The stu-dents definitely slept well that night.
