It's a bit quiet up in Morrow House. That's because it's Adventure Week at the Elisabeth Morrow School; students and teachers are away on trips.
Fifth Grade: takes three separate day trips;
1) West Point to study the Revolutionary War history of the area,

3) A Revolutionary-War-era-style cookout on school grounds.
Sixth Grade: heads to Connecticut with Nature's Classroom, an organization that mixes the study of environmental science with group building activities.
Seventh Grade: goes to YMCA Camp Bernie in Hackettstown for a trip involving low ropes activities, rock climbing, hiking and rappelling.
