[dropcap]A[/dropcap] trip of a lifetime, memories made and a bond between two schools created. Students from First Flight High School will travel to Wuxi, China Feb. 29 through March 9, to visit our sister school Meicun Senior High School. Members of the partnership are raising money to help pay for this trip. They have contacted local businesses on the Outer Banks asking for sponsorships and have organized several other fundraisers. All of the proceeds go to fund activities when the students from China visit First Flight and to sponsor the students trip to China. Students will have the opportunity to visit Wuxi, Shanghai and Beijing, and visit The Great Wall of China, The Forbidden City, the Terracotta Warriors, and the Oriental Pearl TV Tower.
