Fall Trips Keep Middle Schoolers Learning and Growing
We kicked off fall trips this week, giving middle school students the chance to explore far and wide as they apply classroom lessons in real world settings. Graland's trip program is a unique, memorable and impactful way to bring learning to life.
Back
- Grade 5 visited La Foret Conference Center in Colorado Springs where they worked on team building and personal growth. Highlights of the trip include the ropes course, zip line, team challenges and the always popular talent show!
- Grade 6 traveled to Keystone Science School to explore the natural world and examine animal and plant adaptations. On guided hikes, they gathered data and learned concepts that they will further explore throughout the year.
- Grade 7 went to the Challenge Course at the University of Colorado-Boulder for team activities and followed with a lesson in croquet for their service-learning project with local senior citizens.
- Grade 8 leaves tomorrow for their epic adventure to the South. They have a packed itinerary designed to open their eyes to the events, places and people of the Civil Rights Movement.
