What better way to learn Math than to calculate
the fun at Carowinds Park in Charlotte, North Carolina!
SFCS 8th Grade students will depart at 8:10 a.m. on
Friday, April 1, for a first-hand look at algebraic
and geometric formulas used in building roller coasters.
One has to think a little bit of fun will also be experienced
in this mega field trip! Students are required to pay
the $50 fee that covers entrance to the park, a catered
lunch and transportation. All those embarking on this
math adventure will also need to bring a calculator,
pencil and money for a fast food dinner on the way
home. SFCS dress code rules apply on this trip, however
appropriate t-shirts are allowed. No flip-flops or
short shorts will be accepted. The Water Park will
not be open, so there is no need to wear swimsuits.
If you have any questions regarding this trip, please
contact Amber Thompson at
athompson@shannonforest.com.
