Middle school students are not the easiest people to teach, but they are easy to entertain. Savannah, Charleston, Jacksonville, and Myrtle Beach were all destinations for middle school field trips.
5th Grader Ashlyn Nelson said, “It was amazing to pet a stingray.” This opportunity was possible at Ripley’s Aquarium in Myrtle Beach. Sleeping bags covered the floor of the aquarium as they slept under the huge tanks filled with sharks. The 5th grade went with Robine Jackson.
The field trip to Savannah, Georgia included going on a carriage tour and dolphin sighting. 7th Grader Elizabeth Hartzog said, “I think it was fun just cause we were out of school.”
The 8th grade went on a trip to Downtown Charleston. The trip included a ghost tour, Hunley exhibit, and trip to the market. 8th Grader Hannah Creel said, “The shopping was great, considering it was on a field trip.” Field trips are a great way for the teachers to be around their students outside of the classroom.
The 6th grade went on an overnight trip to Jacksonville, Florida, which included watching a performance of Cirque du Soleil. 6th Grader Clayton Jackson loved the special tricks that the men did.
Many middle schoolers did not care for the field trips, but were just happy to be out of school. 7th Grader Brody Taylor said, “Next year, I want to go to Downtown Charleston on a ghost tour because they are scary.”
