A Trip Back in Time

A Trip Back in Time

Grade 4 students had a wonderful three-day trip last week to St. Augustine, Florida, showcasing what students had already learned in the classroom: what life was like in the 1700-1800s. The students toured a number of locations, including Castillo de San Marcos - the oldest Masonry Fort in the United States, as well as the oldest house in Florida, the oldest jail in the country and a hands-on museum. Typically seen as a rite of passage, our Grade 4 trip to St. Augustine is so much more than that. It is the first of many class-building trips to not only visit the sites of study, but also to bond as a group and solidify friendships with classmates and teachers. The experience of St. Augustine has proven that Scheck Hillel's Class of 2024 is a truly wonderful group: independent, respectful and eloquent. We are so very thankful to the teachers and parents who have partnered in molding this incredible group of individuals. Click here for photos from the trip.
