🪢 FIELD TRIP: TUESDAY, JUNE 2, 2026: Each year, our middle school classes also do a fun/educational field trip in the spring. We will use this field trip for multiple purposes: it will challenge many students both physically & mentally, it will require students to take risks, problem solve and to work together to achieve some of the challenges. It will be a fun opportunity for this group of kids to bond with each other and build their social community. This field trip will also offer us an opportunity to revisit/reteach some of the lessons from our Kindness Retreat while it offers the kids a platform where they can put these lessons into practice. Ropes courses often present an opportunity for kids to “see each other in a different light”/setting, which often presents strengths & fears that we often don’t learn about in our classroom. It offers students opportunities to show respect to one another, to lead & encourage those around them. We will plan to have a picnic lunch outside if weather permits.
🌭🍉End-of-Year School Picnic: It is our tradition here at St. Paul to have an all-school outdoor picnic on Track and Field Day when we return in the afternoon. The picnic will include a hot dog, watermelon, chips, bottled water and a dessert.
