Grade Eight Overnight Trip to Lake St. George Conservation Centre

Accompanied by Mr. Meagher, Mrs Denney-Falsetta and Mrs. Angellotti our Grade 8s travelled to Lake St. George Conservation Centre in Stoufville for a three day and two nights overnight trip. Students fine-tuned some of their wilderness survival, geo-cashing and nature photography skills. They took part in owling and building shelter activities as well as learning how to protect some of Ontario's wildlife species as part of the Grade 8 Curriculum. Students also had an opportunity to  manage their own living responsibilities by preparing their own food, cleaning their rooms, and limiting their environmental footprint. This has been a very memorable experience for our students, who expressed their thanks and praise for the opportunity on their return.
We would like to thank Mrs. Denney-Falsetta and Mr. Meagher for  giving so generously of their time so that our students could attend, for many, their first overnight trip.
