Field Trip Week

     Each year there is a week in the beginning of the year that is learning outside the class room through field trips.  It is a great way to start the year off with learning and bonding as a class .  The juniors and the seniors do over night field trips.  For the past several years Rob has chaperoned the juniors.   This year Rob and I chaperoned the senior class, ( Andrew's Class)  We have known most of these students for the past 5 years and have watched them mature into young men and women, so it was wonderful to share this journey with  them.
     We are close to many historical sites only a bus ride away.  We spent 3 nights sleeping on the bus while we traveled at different points and 3 nights in beds.  ( my neck is still cramped from the bus and that was a month ago :( .)  We stayed in a sleepy little village/ ghost town.  It was strangely empty,  maybe because tourist season was over?   Anyway it was great for the kids,  in the evening they played games in the street with no worry of cars!

We were able to catch up with a former BFA graduate.  He spent the whole day with us and it was so nice for him and the students to swap BFA stories.

(Below)Here the we are hearing about the history of The Pantheon.

The senior trip is the same each year and they visit the same locations.  Along the way friendships have been made.  Here is one in the photos below meet Costantino.  Let's pray for Costantino, a brother in Christ.  He asked one of our Chaperones if we could get him an electric wheel chair.  Pray, and let's see what God does.  

Here is a photo of our whole group!!
