Seventh Graders Visit Asheboro Zoo















On Monday, March 27th, HCA seventh graders took a field trip to the Asheboro Zoo. Mr. Hunter and Mrs. Michelle Quinn, the co-coordinators of the trip, were happy to afford the students with the opportunity to relax and experience a unique learning opportunity. Students were able to learn about animals and their habitats in this experience.

The students enjoyed viewing all of the animals and learning many interesting facts about them. The NC Zoo is divided into two sections- North America and Africa. Will Huff, a seventh grade student, said, "We really liked looking at and learning about all of the wildlife. The gorillas in North America were my favorite." Blake Daniel said that her favorite part of the park was Africa because she enjoyed viewing the elephants and zebras. Many students enjoyed riding the tram between the sections of the park.

Special thanks goes out to those parents, volunteers, and chaperons who helped to make the trip a success.
