Stepping Back To A Simpler Time: The Landis Valley Museum in Lancaster, PA was the destination for an all-school field trip. All kindergarten through eighth grade students, their teachers, and parents who attended the trip experienced a slice of life in the 1800's by observing and participating in baking, spinning and dyeing wool, blacksmithing, and paper crafts. Students dressed in period attire and worked on chores including carrying water from a well, using a washboard to clean linens, and embroidering cloth. Museum demonstrators spoke to groups about what life was truly like without many of today's amenities.

Students who attended Greenwood Friends School returned for a visit on Friday, September 26.  The alumni included Daniel, Morgan, Aidan, and Meghan from Danville; Daniel from Berwick, Katy from Unityville, and Heather from Muncy.

GFS students celebrated Thematic Kickoff Day 2008 with every age group participating in integrated activities such as studying star formations, constructing rocket models, and enjoying space-related stories.  There will be future theme-related events including “A Starry Starry Night” utilizing the robotic telescope installed in cooperation with Bloomsburg University. Each class will weave the theme into their curricular activities throughout the year, culminating in an end-of-year presentation based upon what they have learned.
