🌟7th Grade Field Trip to Turkey Run State Park🌟

7th grade took a science/geology field trip to Turkey Run State Park. Students had the chance to hike in the morning and then after lunch they did a guided hike through Rocky Hollow. They focused on how the hollow formed and how it is still being weathered today. They also pointed out unique biological features of the park and acknowledged just how special our neighbor park is!
