Aplington's 7th & 8th grade students had the opportunity to enjoy an educational field trip to Springfield yesterday. They left the school bright and early at 6:45 A.M. and returned at 8:30 P.M. This trip was completely funded by 4U Charities and the Winnick Family Foundation, allowing students to experience this at no cost to them.
A huge thank you to 4U Charities and the Winnick Family Foundation for funding this trip which gave our students a wonderful experience, to Mrs. Schlegel for making all of the arrangements, to Mr. Messer, Ms. Wells, Mr. Kelln, Mrs. Wetzel, Mrs. Jaeger, Ms. Reid, Mr. Benner, & Mrs. Schlegel who chaperoned the trip, AND to the students who all displayed maturity and appropriate behavior - you represented Polo well!
