Norup and Anderson 7th Graders Attend Trip Up North and to the Upper Peninsula

In the last week of May and first week in June, Anderson and Norup 7th graders had the opportunity to attend a trip to the Upper Peninsula and Northern Michigan.

Anderson

On May 29-31, approximately 80 7th grade students set out for the annual trip to experience the Upper Peninsula. The purpose of this trip is to allow students to get more hands-on learning connected to 7th grade science content, while enjoying the amazing sights of the Upper Peninsula. Students visited Sleeping Bear Dunes, Mackinac Island, Whitefish Point and the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum, Pictured Rocks and Tahquamenon Falls.

Norup

On June 3-5, 100 Norup 7th grade students had the opportunity to explore the state of Michigan. On the first day of the trip students ventured west to the Platte River Fish Hatchery and learned more about the salmon they raised in the classroom from November to May. A quick stop for lunch allowed them to play lawn games on the Traverse City Pit Spitters baseball field. The day ended at Sleeping Bear Dunes. Students then traveled to Tahquamenon Falls, Whitefish Point/Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum and Pictured Rocks Lakeshore on a boat cruise. On the final day of the trip students explored Mackinac Island.
