We were learning about Native Americans, the fur trade, and the French and Indian War in 7th and 8th grade Social Studies when the topic of Mackinac Island came up. Our teacher, Mrs. Grzelak, brought up how she was able to bring previous students to Mackinac Island to visit the forts. Students slept in forts, explored the island, and learned more about its history. As a class, we suggested the idea of applying to see if we could make it a field trip. Mrs. Grzelak was on board right away!
We started planning some fundraising opportunities and made a list of businesses that would possibly donate to support our field trip. Mrs. Grzelak had a great idea to host a trivia night fundraiser with Mexican food! The tables could be purchased by a group or combined; there were trivia questions, food, margaritas (which were non-alcoholic), a silent auction, and answers that could be bought! There were also many decorations such as streamers, balloons, table covers, centerpieces, and margarita cups. Of course, our class put the decorations up, but we wouldn’t have been able to put this together without the help of our parents. We appreciate all the work Mrs. Grzelak and our families put into our community and would like to thank the community for their support.
