March Clippers MS 2026
Our 6th grade students recently enjoyed an exciting educational trip to Citizens Bank Park!

Students participated in a special weather presentation led by local meteorologists, where they learned about forecasting, weather patterns, and careers in meteorology before enjoying the Phillies game together.⚾

It was a fun and engaging day filled with learning, teamwork, and unforgettable memories! 💙💛
