Lincoln School Students Head to the Forest

Recently the 7th grade class from Lincoln School in Garwood went on their traditional class trip to Stokes State Forest. This marked the 41st year that Garwood Schools have traveled to the NJ School of Conservation at Stokes for their trip.

Activities included a hike to Sunrise Mountain, archery, papermaking, fish ecology, and survival skills. The students engaged in a variety of community building exercises which emphasized responsibility, respect, and conservation.

"The students also realized that through communication and cooperation they are able to solve numerous challenges while on the trip and are able to apply these skills to real-life situations," said Lincoln School Principal Mary Emmons.
