Union Springs Middle School embraced the winter wonderland by organizing an exhilarating field trip for its 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade students to Casey Park Ice Rink. Over the course of the past week, each grade took a day to experience the thrill of ice skating and create lasting memories on the glistening ice.

The initiative, orchestrated by the school's administration in collaboration with Casey Park, aimed to provide a dynamic experiential learning opportunity for the students while fostering camaraderie among different grade levels.

Union Springs Middle School Principal Nora Haldeman expressed enthusiasm about the trip, stating, “Witnessing our students immerse themselves in this fun winter activity is truly heartwarming. Their huge smiles say it all! It's fantastic to see them enjoying themselves outside the confines of the classroom while building lasting memories and friendships.”

Each grade had its designated day at the rink, ensuring that students had ample space and time to enjoy the experience fully. The joyful laughter and camaraderie among the students echoed through Casey Park as they navigated the ice, some mastering the art of skating for the first time while others showcased their prowess on the rink.

The trip not only offered a recreational outlet but also provided a platform for students to embrace teamwork, resilience, and healthy competition. As the students returned to their classes, their spirits were undoubtedly lifted, and their winter days were brightened by the togetherness and elation shared on the ice at Casey Park.
