Seventh grade students are invited to attend an environmental education field trip to Jekyll Island, Georgia from February 3-5, 2027. This learning experience correlates with the seventh-grade science curriculum and offers a hands-on experience like no other. Students will learn on the beach, in a marsh, while hiking in a maritime forest and in many other ecosystems.
