I’d like to introduce to you an opportunity for South Loop Elementary’s upcoming 7th grade class, to celebrate all of their hard work, with their peers and teachers. We will embark on a science-based journey, exploring various mountains, caves, and trails throughout the Smoky Mountains, in Pigeon Forge, TN. We will also experience zip-lining through the forests, Dollywood Amusement Park, and an exploration of the quaint town of Gatlinburg. This is an addition to enjoying a Hatfield and McCoy Dinner show and numerous other things the city of Pigeon Forge has to offer. Finally, they’ll have a chance to visit Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s home and grave sight, as well the Georgia Aquarium before we depart back home, late Thursday evening. This is a fun-filled, unforgettable experience that will bring your child memories to last a lifetime…plus it gives you a nice break away from them, not that you need it.
