PVA goes to Eastern State Penitentiary

On November 4, 2015 PVA middle school students took a “physical education” trip to Eastern State Penitentiary! Eastern State Penitentiary is located on 20th and Fairmount St.

It took us briefly 20 minutes to walk from School District of Philadelphia. It was a nice preparation before the tour inside the Penitentiary. The tour guide was generous and gave us enough freedom to look around on our own but also guidance about the prison cell. After the tour, we ate outside with other students right on the ground of Eastern State Penitentiary! We were a bit timid some THING.. or someONE is going to pop out but we went on our way courageous!
