Nantahala Outdoor Center Trip

Sixth graders took to the rapids with the Nantahala Outdoor Center on August 29.

“The Nantahala Outdoor Center trip encouraged students to try something new and push past their fear. Many of the students said they initially thought rafting would be scary but they were glad their parents and teachers encouraged them to try it because they had a fun experience,” said sixthgrade teacher Amanda Rogers.

“The rapids trip was AMAZING,” added fellow sixth-grade teacher Michelle Carnes. “The smiles on the students’ faces said it all! We all left with huge smiles on our faces, closer friendships, and great stories to share.”
