On Wednesday, March 13, and Thursday, March 14, the seventh-grade class at Thomas Edison EnergySmart Charter School took an overnight field trip to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Gettysburg is the site of a historic three-day battle of the American Civil War.

Students had an extensive itinerary full of activities and places to see, even more than just the battlefields dotted with monuments. On the first day of the trip, students visited the Seminary Ridge Museum, the Gettysburg National Military Park, and the historic Dobbin House. In the evening, the group went back to the GNMP Museum to see the exhibits and admire the antique oil painting in the Cyclorama commemorating the events which took place on July 1-3 in 1863. On day two, visited the Jennie Wade House, the battlefield at East Cemetery Hill, the Gettysburg National Cemetery, and the largest military diorama in the United States.
TEECS’ 7th grade class had the opportunity to immerse themselves in history and created memories that will last a lifetime. Gettysburg, once an unsuspecting hamlet in rural Pennsylvania, has ultimately been transformed by history and is now a place of sacred pilgrimage for millions of people each year. Students are fortunate to have had their own Gettysburg experience and will surely remember this trip for years to come.
Also, With the support of Governor Murphy’s administration and Assemblyman Andrew Zwicker’s office, TEECS’ students recently presented their NJ STEM month projects at the NJ State House.
