Each year, Norwin High School National Honors society takes a short trip to celebrate the hard work and dedication of all of its members. For this year’s trip, students are traveling all the way to Boston, Massachusetts for an experience of their lives.
The trip this year will begin on April 8th and end on April 11th of the 2024 school year. Students are planned to leave on Mon. April 7th right after school and to arrive in Boston around 11 pm that same night. The bus ride there will be about a 9 hour ride, so there will be plenty of time to complete any homework to and from the trip. As of right now, the tentative plan for food on the way up and back from the trip is going to be subs from Jersey Mikes. However, this plan may possibly change.
Once arrived in Boston, students can look forward to an itinerary for the trip that is nothing less than absolutely exciting. On the first day of the trip, students will eat breakfast at the hotel at 7:30 am. The group will then leave at 8:15 to join a ducky tour at 10:00. At 12:00 pm, students will get lunch and will be able to shop at the Prudential Center for a few hours. Next, students will board the bus at 2:30 pm to head to Salem. After students arrive in Salem, they will get dinner Rockefella’s, Salem. By 7:00 pm, students will start a ghost tour of Salem. Studnets are advised to dress warm and comfortably for the walking tour. The group will end the night by returning to the hotel at 9:00 and having a bed check by 11:00 pm.
Day two of the trip is just as packed as day one, starting again with breakfast at 7:30 and departure from the hotel at 8:15 for a walking tour at Fenway Park. Students will get lunch at 12:00 pm and then take the Freedom Trail Tour. Students are, again, advised to dress warm and comfortable. Finally, students will return to the hotel for a bed check at 11:30 pm.
On the final day of the trip, students will follow the same eat breakfast and leave the hotel schedule as the first two days of the trip.

The office also suggests packing snacks and other basic food items to carry with you throughout the duration of the trip. Students are also expected to bring money with them for their lunches.
