THE FIFTH GRADE HAD A GREAT TIME AT GUILFORD COURTHOUSE MILITARY PARK AND TANNENBAUM PARK. WE LEARNED MANY DETAILS ABOUT THE BATTLE THAT TOOK PLACE IN OUR OWN TOWN AND EVEN GOT TO WITNESS A MUSKET BEING FIRED! THE COLONIAL HERITAGE CENTER AT TANNENBAUM CONTAINED MUCH INFORMATION ABOUT LIFE IN COLONIAL TIMES IN GUILFORD COUNTY. CHILDREN'S LIVES WERE VERY DIFFERENT THAN OURS TODAY!

OUR NEXT TRIP IS TO MARYFIELD NURSING HOME ON WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4. WE WILL LEAVE AT 9:10 AND RETURN TO OLG AT 11:45. THE CHILDREN ATTEND MASS WITH THE RESIDENTS, THEN SPEND SOME TIME WITH A RELIGIOUS SISTER BEFORE LEAVING A SMALL THANKSGIVING CRAFT BEFORE HEADING FOR HOME. WHAT A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR STUDENTS!!
