Our fourth-grade students recently enjoyed an unforgettable adventure to St. Augustine, the nation’s oldest city. This annual trip provided a unique opportunity to step back in time and experience the rich history they’ve studied in Social Studies throughout the year. During the trip, students explored the historic Castillo de San Marcos, visited a Spanish Mission, climbed the iconic St. Augustine Lighthouse, and even discovered the legendary Fountain of Youth. Each stop brought Florida’s history to life, allowing students to connect classroom lessons with real-world experiences. We are so grateful to our teachers, staff, and chaperones who helped make this trip possible. It...
