Yesterday, 4th graders from SME and WES braved the coldest day of the year so far since last winter and hiked from the Parker Rd trailhead in West Fairlee to Patterson Mountain in Vershire. This was the first 4th Grade Teambuilding field trip, and the students participated in a variety of games and activities in which they all had to work together to achieve a goal. SME P.E. teacher Ryan LaBella joined us and provided some fun and active teambuilding games to keep us moving and staying warm! Below is a group poem they wrote together at the end of the trip. We had a great time despite the chilly weather. Pictures coming soon!
