Commission finalizes 4th-grade field-trip plan with five learning stations
Summary
The commission mapped a five-station 4th-grade field trip including a mock council at City Hall, pavilion activities, Moon Tree, gazebo historic-inn materials and hands-on stations; they plan stamps/goodie bags for about 120–150 students and recommended ordering replica embossers to speed throughput.
The commission reviewed detailed logistics for an upcoming 4th-grade field trip, describing five stations that will give students hands-on history and civics experiences. The chair said students will walk from the elementary school to the pavilion, rotate in groups of roughly 20, participate in a mock council at City Hall where the mayor will introduce the program, and receive a stamped goodie bag and materials about Keystone Heights.
To avoid long lines at the embossing station, the commission proposed ordering two or three replica embossers so multiple students can be stamped simultaneously; the chair emphasized the importance of making exhibits age-appropriate and engaging for nine-year-olds. The commission also discussed volunteer assignments for each station, transportation of materials from storage, and producing enough souvenir materials (pencils, small books, wooden coins) for approximately 120 students expected in the school population.
