Close encounters The third grade went to the Arkansas State Fair and the bakery. and they even invited Senator David Pryor to visit Pulaski Academy. The kids were tickled to death. They wore their sunday clothes and brought their cameras. Flashcubes popped continually as he spoke to the kids about his job in Washington, D.C. He asked the studentsa number of questions. and they were never wrong. Impressed. Sen. Pryor said. You kids must really do your homework. The visit went along with their study on government which also included a trip to the State Capitol. Fifth graders took a trip to the Mid- America Museum in Hot Springs. Stephanie Campbell was particularly impressed by the I5-foot acquarium filled with all kinds of fish. During their study of Indians in Arkansas history, seventh graders travelled to the Toltec Indian Mounds. It was kind of boring. said Grace Ann Mulhollan, because we had a film before we got to visit the mounds. The movie was about the history of the mounds and the Indians that lived there. However, most students wouldn't dare admit they were bored by field trips. After all. it was more exciting than being in school all day. 441 Academics sv- . ,,,f avi! W ll ? ji fi.- Puppy lover.

Escape from the classroom Everyone loved the chance to get out of the classroom every once in a while and field trips provided that opportunity. Third grader Hunter Beaumont said, I like field trips because you can miss school, and it's fun to learn neat things about other places. Field trips were taken to the Arkansas State Fair, Mid-America Museum. Swenson's. The Museum of Science and Natural History and the apple orchards by the lower school kids. The pre-schoolers went to Swenson's Ice Cream Factory to learn how ice cream was made. Then after it was made the big treat came when everyone was given a bowl of ice cream to enjoy.

The kindergarten went to the Museum of Science and Natural History. ln turn they had several guests come to P.A. to teach them new material. A farmer brought his tractor and gave the children rides inthe parking lot. and a police officer brought his watchdog. The purpose of these speakers was to teach the children about safety and to learn what their job is in our community. said Mrs. Susan Fitton, kindergarten teacher. The first grade went to the apple orchard. We had to pick the apples off the ground because they wouldn't let us climb the ladder. said Amy Freebairn. l liked walking through all the trees and coming home with four apples, added Jon Barger.
