Virtual Fieldtrips, that was a phrase we knew nothing about two months ago. To adapt to a different spring than normal, staff created pre-recorded highlights of fieldtrips students would have gone on, then joined the classes via Zoom. It was not the same as an in-person fieldtrip but it was a great alternative. Overall, we met with 46 classes and had 533 participants. Thanks to all the teachers, students, and parents which helped make this happen! To see the virtual fieldtrips, or any of our other videos, head to our videos page!
