4th Grade Overnight Field Trip to Nature’s Classroom

May 2, 2022 //  by McGinnis Woods School & Preschool

Our 4th graders left for Nature’s Classroom in Mentone, Alabama today on their overnight trip. They are having a great time hiking, playing games, attending classes, and getting ready for their campfire a bit later tonight. This trip is sure to be a memory maker!
