Brunson Elementary Students Head to the Coast for an Educational Field Trip


In December, students from Brunson Elementary School headed to the coast for a field trip. Here is what Lara Overby, who teaches fifth-graders in the HAG (highly academically gifted) program, had to say about the trip:

“This was the second year that we have taken students to the Trinity Center Sound to Sea Program in Salter Path, N.C. The Center is located on Bogue Banks, one of the barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina. 

“The students were in learning groups with fabulous environmental educators while we were at the Center. The expertise level and knowledge base of the Center counselors is really remarkable.

“The students have a firsthand look at beach, salt marsh, sound, and maritime forest ecology. We also did evening programs. One was focused on sea turtles; the other was a night hike. In addition, students worked on team building and did a squid dissection.”
