Students at Shelburne Middle School in Staunton will go on a field trip this month to the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Quantico with help from a grant from the American Battlefield Trust.
The $1,500 grant will give students an opportunity to learn about the Marine Corps’ role in the nation’s history.
“The additional funding helps make the field trip accessible to all of our sixth-grade students and helps offset the cost of the field trip to make it more manageable for families,” said Jennifer Turner, instructional coach at Shelburne Middle School. “This opportunity not only enriches our curriculum but also makes history more accessible and memorable for our students. We’re grateful for the support to make this trip possible for SMS students.”
The American Battlefield Trust is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to preserving America’s historic battlegrounds and educating the public about what happened there and why it matters today.
