It sure was quiet on the north side of the building last week. But we know middle schoolers were off enjoying their class trips! Eighth graders were in Washington DC, seventh graders were at Camp Joy in Ohio, sixth graders were in St. Louis, and fifth graders were at Mammoth Cave in Kentucky!

The trips not only have strong curricular connections but offer a chance for students to exercise responsibility, self-control, and independence while growing closer with one another.
