Summary
Students and chaperones shared testimonials about a Franklin Education Connection trip to Utah parks; the presentation highlighted experiential learning at Capitol Reef, Zion, Glen Canyon and Bryce Canyon and thanked the FEC for the opportunity.
Franklin Community Schools presented a Franklin Education Connection (FEC) trip to Utah national parks, with students and chaperones describing the educational and social benefits. The packet named trip sites including Capitol Reef, Zion, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Antelope Canyon and Bryce Canyon and included student testimonials about the learning experience and peer connections. The materials thanked the Franklin Education Connection for enabling students to visit multiple national parks.
Sophomore Ella Justice summarized her reaction in the packet: "I had a crazy cool experience close to nothing I’ve seen before. I saw so many things that I wouldn’t have been able to see before this and I’m extremely grateful for that .I hope for more opportunities for other kids to experience these extraordinary views." Chaperones also provided positive reflections, noting the trip offered students time together traveling, playing games and exploring landscapes; the presentation did not reference any required board action beyond acknowledgment in the superintendent reports.
