Saturday, January 29th 2011 Like most days we stepped into the chill of an early South Florida morning. Little did we know our trip with South Broward High School was going to be very eventful… The day started out like any other RJD trip.

Friday, January 28th 2011 I think I can safely say that today’s trip was one of the “freshest” trips I have been on in a while.

November 14, 2010 Like yesterday, we too had a first for RJD. Unfortunately, it was for all the wrong reasons. Let’s start at the beginning.
