Fifth graders visited Calleva on Tuesday, for a day of outdoor education. Students took part in low ropes course and trust building activities, like the Think Tank, Giant Swing, Round Robin, and Zip Line. Students faced and conquered their fears and worked on communication skills with their peers. Ninth graders went Thursday to Terrapin Adventures to do outdoor activities, orientation, and team building skills. The sixth grade students visited Ray’s Meadow in Rock Creek Park for a water monitoring trip hosted by the Audobon Society. Sixth graders are research watersheds for a year-long study in water quality and environmental impact on plant and animal life. More outdoor trips will come in the spring for the seventh, eleventh, and twelfth grades. We relish the chance to take students into nature and build leadership skills along with respect for the environment.
