Cape May field trip - CANCELLED:
The Weather Gods have done it again. Not satisfied with torpedoing our trip to Cape May this spring, after an extended period of nearly perfect weather, they have decided to conjure up a coastal storm timed to arrive exactly as our trip was to begin. As fans of the NY Giants are used to saying: "Better Luck Next Year".

- Presented By: Dr. Marcus R. Kronforst

Our Next Field Trip
