Today we went on our field trip to Winthrop University! Winthrop is a public, liberal arts college located in Rock Hill, South Carolina that offers undergraduate and graduate degrees and has a current enrollment of about 6,000 students.
We started our day off at Winthrop with a scavenger hunt for those in grades 6th-8th and a campus tour for rising 9th graders. During the scavenger hunt, students were separated by grade and last name and were assigned an ArtSummer teacher for the first part of the day. Around 11:30 everyone met at the Byrnes Auditorium for a short speech and lunch. The ArtSummer staff provided all campers and teachers a delicious Panera Bread box lunch! After lunch, students broke off into their majors and attended afternoon workshops.
Our girls were split into four groups and followed their escorts to see different classrooms. The students were able to view dance classes including, jazz, contemporary, ballet, musical theatre, improvisation, choreography, and many other styles. We loved being able to see all the different kinds of dance the students were learning!
Today was an incredible learning experience for our students, teachers, and district administrators! We thank Winthrop University for treating us to an awesome day full of art on their beautiful campus, Ms. Brown for organizing our fun trip, and everyone else who helped make today such a success!
We hope everyone has a relaxing weekend, and we can't wait to see everyone Monday morning!
Remember to practice, practice, practice this weekend!
