From 2 to 4 February, our DAES-CT and DAES-CT International students went on a study trip to Normandy to learn about the D-Day Landings as part of their history and English lessons. The class visited the Caen Memorial, Omaha Beach and the town of Caen. A huge thank you to Oeuvre Nationale de Secours Grande-Duchesse Charlotte for allowing our students to go on this trip. It’s a visit they won’t soon forget.
