After over a year with no field trips, students and teachers are happy to travel once again and learn beyond the walls of the classroom! With safety precautions in place, several student groups have experienced fun and unique learning opportunities in the Atlanta area.

Pictured above are Alysha Gayle, Analia Farrington, and Anelis Marzan-Gonzalez from YMS. They were the top three winners of the Kahoot! game during the camp. Also pictured are students making all-natural sugar scrubs.

A group of Stewart Middle School students toured the University of West Georgia recently. They learned what it takes for college acceptance and how to succeed at the next level.

Eighth graders at Stewart traveled to the World of Coke, where they learned how the Coca-Cola Company became a vibrant force in Georgia and around the world.

They enjoyed lunch at the CNN Center, headquarters of one of the world's leading news organizations.

Annette Winn Elementary celebrated National Hispanic Heritage Month by focusing on Hispanic art during art class, learning songs in Spanish and English and creating projects and displays.

Students ended the great month with a Hispanic Heritage Wax Museum and talent night. Professional Mexican dancers entertained the crowd, and 3rd grader Teresa Penn and her aunt, Cynthia Barralaga, performed a traditional Mexican dance.

At Beulah Elementary, students spent a fun day immersed in lessons centered around Hispanic activities. They learned to make tamales and tres leches cake.

Art activities included making replicas of repujado, an embossed tin art form that is popular in Mexico. The Chapel Hill High School International Club assisted by providing templates for the project.

Several parents showed off artifacts, art and clothing from various Latin American countries, and Spanish students from Douglas County High School did salsa dancing with the 5th graders, played soccer and broke open piñatas.

Former dual language students at Beulah who now attend Turner Middle School contributed by preparing some of the materials for activities.

Chapel Hill High School's HOSA club raised over $2,500 and came in second place in the Georgia Cape Day fundraiser for Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA). The students honored the brave heroes at CHOA by wearing capes on the annual Cape Day on October 15. The club plans to make this an annual event.

We appreciate our bus drivers! Members of the transportation department were treated to breakfast on October 14. Superintendent North discussed various topics with drivers and answered questions during the event.
