8th Trip to Piedmont Park
Eighth grade students will visit Piedmont Park on either May 5th, 6th, or 7th depending on which team students are on from 10:00 AM until 2:30 PM. Students will travel by way of Gwinnett County Public Schools buses. One of the goals for this trip is to provide students with a STEM (Science, Stem, Technology, and Mathematics) experience. Students will investigate physical forces on the playscape equipment at the park. Using what they’ve learned they will have the opportunity to design their own play structure.
Students will have lunch at Piedmont Park before they return to Summerour Middle School.
Students will not bring personal belongings with them on the trip. Students will be given materials for the visit. Absolutely no electronics are allowed on this trip. This opportunity will take place within the school day and will not impact arrival or departure times for students. The cost is $15.00 and includes transportation and a boxed lunch from Jason’s Deli. Please return the permission slip and the money for the trip no later than February 28, 2025. (You may use the QR code attached to pay)
