Yesterday, our 3rd-5th graders had an incredible field trip to St. Augustine, a city rich in history and culture! Students explored important landmarks like the Castillo de San Marcos and learned about early Spanish settlement, colonial life, and the significance of this historic city as the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement in the United States.
