Members of Pottstown Middle School Environmental Science Club along with their sponsor Ginger Angelo are spending after schoolhours learning how to find their way in the outdoors.
Recently they participated in an orienteering activity on the school campus.
The activity was led by Mary Frank from the Delaware Valley Orienteering Association.
Orienteering is an outdoor navigation sport using a map and compass with a goal of completing a course in point-to-point order.
The challenge is to complete the course by visiting all control points in the shortest possible time, aided only by the map and a compass.
Angelo said the students had a lot of fun and learned the skills needed to use a compass.
Orienteering is an excellent activity that promotes many of the objectives of our STEAM education efforts and has the added benefit of being good healthy outdoor exercise.
These are just some of the good things happening at Pottstown Middle School that give reason to say Proud to be from Pottstown
