Eagles' Summer Travels
Many Ralston Eagles spread their wings this summer and explored new places around the world while spending time with family and creating memories. Here’s a look at where some of our classmates traveled to:
Trinity Nguyen’s summer was packed with adventure. She visited New York City, where she explored the bright lights of Times Square and enjoyed a magic show. She then headed back to the west coast to Las Vegas where she checked out the incredible new Sphere and tasted food from different restaurants. To top it all off, she spent time in Honolulu, Hawaii where she relaxed on the beach. Taylor Duong traveled to Vietnam and visited several cities, including Saigon, Da Nang, Da Lat, and Ho Chi Minh City. One of her highlights was going to Ba Na Hills, where she walked across the famous Golden Bridge. She also spent quality time with her family, visiting a lake together and enjoying the chance to reconnect. Mohammed Abid headed to Dallas, Texas. He reconnected with family and attended a family wedding. Ronnie Evaristo traveled across the Pacific to the Philippines. He visited the Puerto Princesa Underground River, one of the "New 7 Wonders of Nature". From New York’s skyscrapers to Vietnam’s mountains, and from the sandy beaches of Hawaii to the heart of Texas, our Eagles had an amazing summer filled with travel and memories! -Logan Lau (8th) |
