One of the big milestones that takes place here at RVA, as a student moves from elementary school to Jr High, is 6th grade safari. The students, along with several staff members, head out for 4 days of adventure and learning off site. Every year, our students head to William Holden Wildlife Foundation Education Center, in Nanyuki, Kenya. There is a wonderful program there that involves nature, animals, and conservation. Along with that, our teachers provide a curriculum that challenges our kids to think about what kind of class they want to be as they enter Jr. High.
Megan was so excited to go this year! She has been looking forward to 6th grade safari since she was in kindergarten. And I (Joyellen) was invited to go along as the camp cook. What a great privilege to hang out with these super kids!
I couldn't be more thrilled for Megan to be a part of this class. They were a wonderful bunch - helpful, kind, adventurous and spirited. I can't wait to see what the future holds for them!
