With Extended School Year underway, our Felicity students have been able to have increased opportunities to go on outings, which has been a creative way to work on social emotional skill building during ESY as well. The field trips from Summer 2021 have included the following: Athletico, Lamb’s Farm, Vollo Auto Museum, The Glenn, Antioch Movie Theater and Pinstripes.
At the local Athletico center, staff encouraged students to work on team building skills through and Capture The Flag. Additionally, Felicity students were able to go to Lamb’s Farm in Libertyville to play mini golf, visit the discovery center featuring exotic birds, puppies and kittens, as well as feed some of the farm animals (i.e. goats, llamas, a camel, horses, cows, tortoises and ducks). Vollo Auto Museum is a Felicity favorite that gives students the opportunity to see historic cars and walk through many different types of showrooms. The Glenn provided an opportunity for students to get a tour of the forest preserve as well as having some extra time to go fishing afterwards. At Antioch Movie Theater, students were able to get a private movie viewing of “Stand By Me”. For the last field trip of the school year, students and staff got the opportunity to play three games of bowling at Pinstripes with lunch and drinks provided.
