Dear Students and Parents,
On Friday, March 28, 2025, we will be traveling to the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge in Folkston, GA, for an interdisciplinary experiential learning trip. Our day will include a boat ride through the Okefenokee Swamp, a historical tour of the Chesser Homestead, a boardwalk hike, and a nature documentary and ranger talk at the visitor center. Students will actively engage in learning by using a field guide and nature journal throughout the trip.
Students should arrive at school by 7:15 a.m. and report to their Advisory. We expect to return to campus around 5:00 p.m. The school will send a text notification to parents when we leave the park with an ETA and 30 minutes prior to returning to campus. Pickup will take place at the Munnerlyn Center.
Important Reminders:
-
- Lunch will be provided; students do not need to bring money.
- Episcopal spirit dress is allowed; however, students must wear closed-toe shoes that tie for safety.
- Students must dress for the weather and be prepared to be outdoors all day.
