A Tour Around Carrboro

Last Friday we went on our first field trip - a walking tour of our Carrboro Community! Here are some pictures from the event:


Mrs. Gunthram spoke to us at Town Hall, which was Carrboro Elementary School years ago. Did you know the bathrooms and lunch room were located down two flights of stairs?
In the graveyard we went on a scavenger hunt and used the clues on the tombstones to help us!

We were just in time to see the train pass by!

Here is a recent picture of your favorite 403 Scholars!

At Carr Mill Mall, Mrs. McFarling told us the history about the mill and how Mr. Carr cared for his mill workers and community.

Mr. Roy introduced us to his creative and interactive sculptures. This one below started off as a remake of the heads on Easter Island, but he told us that everyone thinks it is President Obama!

Everyone loved the sculptures that made music!

Thanks to all the parents, teachers, and speakers who helped out on our trip. We had an amazing time!

  1. What a cool field trip! Especially the graveyard and the train and the sculpture that makes music. I sure wish I could have been there.

    I love these pictures. You look like a fun group of kids. I can't wait to meet you all in person...on the Monday after Thanksgiving!
