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.”
