Approximately 625 kindergarten and first-grade students from Plymouth, Culver, Triton, and Bremen schools had a chance to explore a college campus yesterday thanks to Marshall County Promise.
The goal of Marshall County Promise is to get students thinking about post-secondary education as a realistic option early on.
Aside from helping students in grades K-3 start college savings accounts, this initiative is reinforced with college-oriented curriculum being incorporated into the classrooms and taking young students on a field trip to the Ancilla College campus through the ‘Walk into my Future’ event.
During the event, students get a chance swing by several different stations where they can learn about various topics such as agriculture and animal science, coping skills, science, math, creative writing and nursing. They also get a chance to try out an obstacle course!
Next Friday, students from LaVille, John Glenn and Argos will have a chance to participate in the ‘Walk into My Future’ event.
If you have any questions about Marshall County Promise, get in touch with the program representative Triton Superintendent Jeremy Riffle at 574-342-2255.
