11th Grade Students Transcend by Traveling Outside

Logan Cwikla, Staff Writer

Mrs. Missy Diblasi’s 11th grade English classes visited Boyertown Park Monday as part of a lesson on transcendentalism. Transcendentalists were a group of writers in the early 1800s who believed people could live more meaningful lives by spending time in nature. While at the park, the classes engaged in a meditation exercise.
