The 4th grade at C.C.A. spent two full days in the historical city of St. Augustine, Florida, on January 21st and 22nd. The students, along with their parents, were able to visit many sites that culminated their study of Florida history. Some of the places that they visited were the Oldest Wooden School House, Flagler Memorial Presbyterian Church, Castillo de San Marcos Fort, Colonial Spanish Quarter Museum, St. Augustine Lighthouse and Museum, Mission Nombre de Dios, Old Florida Indian and Spanish program, and the Oldest Jail. Not only was the trip educational, but it was also a lot of fun. A scavenger hunt in the evening was a big hit for the students as they raced around the quaint city looking for answers to clues. An outreach project was also a significant part of the trip as the students handed out witness tracts that they personally made. Before leaving on the trip, the students prayed for the Lord to lead them to the person who should receive their tract. God is to be praised for an amazing trip for the students where memories of their first overnight field trip will not soon be forgotten.

Mrs. Vlachos did an amazing job planning, coordinating and leading this field trip!

God was certainly present as our students were evangelists on the streets in St. Augustine passing out their tracts.

If you are a parent that has a child entering 4th grade next year, definitely plan to go on this trip! It left me speechless. Not only was it educational, it was spiritually focused and FUN!
