Norfolk Collegiate’s eighth-grade class journeyed to Triple R Ranch in Chesapeake for the third annual Eighth-Grade Experience. This one-day event was filled with activities geared toward team building, leadership and establishing harmony within the class of 2020.
This trip is a true bonding experience for our students to learn more about themselves and their classmates.
Students challenged themselves physically and intellectually to resolve the tasks at-hand. They participated in the flying squirrel, an activity that allowed one student to be harnessed and other students to work together to make them fly; and nitro crossing, where students swung across a “pool of lava” using a rope and a small platform and a climbing wall.
“I’m going to use what I learned during the eighth-grade experience to work better with others during school projects,” said eighth grader Jake Raeghard.
