Middle School Vacation

Decent Essays
Spring is less than a month away, and we need to lock in our middle school field trip drivers! Originally we planned on camping in Lassen; however, below freezing weather conditions forced us to cancel. We are now planning a trip for the first week of May. Predictions regarding the snow pack in Lassen make it unlikely that we can camp this spring. So, we have changed locations to Southern Oregon.

This year's trip is going to look different than our traditional fall excursion. Our 8th grade parents (which account for over half of our parent drivers), will be traveling with students for the 8th grade trip in June and have requested less travel days in order to participate in both field trips. Additionally, the potential for cold weather

    For many years Ijams Nature Center has been a beloved park. The Ijams family first offered Girl Scout camps back in 1923 and thousands of individuals and groups visited this special place during the 1920s through the 1970s.

    With more and more people switching to year round schools, more and more families are struggling to keep summer vacations and traditions alive. At the beginning of summer many families are getting ready for vacations, camping, and more, but if there is year round schools, then they will have to put off family traditions and vacations they have been doing for years or have been looking forward to for a while, so they have to get rid of all that just for year round schooling, which just started.

Now if they want to go on a trip it has to be planned around the school's…

    Memories are amazing things to cherish, and those are what I am hoping to gain on our school trip to Memphis and Nashville, Tennessee in March 2017. This trip is a couple months before I graduate and having this memory to remember all of my life, would be nothing less of spectacular. I can see myself sharing stories of what I did and what I got to experience on this trip to my own kids one day, hoping they get to enjoy something like this as much as I would. I am hoping this trip also helps me gain confidence and leadership. Being a senior, a lot of underclassmen look up to you.…
