6th Graders Enjoy Outdoor Education Experience!

Last week, 170 sixth graders traveled to Darlington, Maryland to take part in our annual Outdoor Education Program. Along with our enthusiastic students, 15 talented staff members and 44 dedicated parents helped to make this year's trip one of the best ever! During the three day adventure, students were given the opportunity to participate in a variety of classes (confidence course, nature walk, fishing, aquatics, art, creative writing, canoeing, tennis, volleyball and a few others) and experience various team building activities including: a dance, a talent show, a campfire and storytelling.

I want to commend Ms. Chiarella, Ms. Cheung, Ms. Fantz and Ms. Merson for doing such a great job organizing this trip. In addition, I want to thank all of the ELMS staff who taught the various classes and ran all of the activities. Last, but certainly not least, I want to thank all of the parents who volunteered to come with us. Without your support, we could not provide this special program for our students.

I am proud to report that the director of the camp told us that the staff, parents and students from ELMS are among the best groups they host each year.

"The students are well-behaved, appreciative and a pleasure to serve!"
