The new school year has started! We have finished our fall overnight field trips already. The 8th grade Mt. Rainier trip was awesome. We hiked through the clouds/rain up to Panorama Point. The 6th grade class got to see Opal Creek with a dusting of snow. The 7th grade class took their final whole class trip to Opal Creek as well. We are looking forward to the Spring overnight trips! If you have any questions about scheduled field trips, call Marie Carver at (503) 399-3215. Interested in joining JGEMS?
