• September/October/November: Carpe Diem
• December/January/February/March: Chivalry…Does it Matter?
• April/May/June: The Renaissance…See the Light

FIELD TRIPS
Field trips are an important part of learning and provide excellent hands-on experiences in the real world. Outings are scheduled periodically for each grade level to enhance the curriculum.

Seventh Grade Field Trips:

• September Spirit Adventure
• Aqueduct Day
• Rock Climbing
• Starry Night
• Fencing Classes (5)
