Virtual Field Trips

Campus closures have taken away invaluable school experiences from our children.  Many were disappointed when they found out that the field trip they were looking forward to all year had now been cancelled.  As much as everyone else, we wish that things would go back to normal, so that we can all go outside and enjoy this wonderful world that we are so lucky to be a part of.

One way to go exploring (while stuck at home) is to take a Virtual Field Trip.  Here is a list of fun, eye-opening places for you and your family to visit - virtually.
