Hitting the Peak!


The eighth grade class will venture out to Jaffrey, New Hampshire to experience nature in its truest form. Mount Monadnock will be one of the most memorable experiences as the class celebrates its last year in the middle school. Climbing a mountain takes focus and persistence. If and when you reach the top, it is a truly amazing moment. Three-hundred and sixty degrees of pure wonder. Try not to rush it away. Look closely at the trees, animals, and every small stone that intends to keep you back. Be determined and smart about your decisions. Stay with a friend and take plenty of pictures to share with family and friends. Above all, appreciate what is around you and be respectful of its power and beauty. Best of luck from all of us:)

You will find something more in woods than in books. Trees and stones will teach you that which you can never learn from masters. ~St. Bernard
