The students from Friendship House had an unforgettable day exploring Sequoia National Park! 🌲

They learned about the towering trees, took an oath administered by a Park Ranger, and discovered just how incredible these ancient giants can be. Most of all, their excitement and curiosity made the experience one to remember.
