Hidden Figures Field Trip

By Adam

On March 16, 2017 the Esquire movie theatre opened early for one school and that school only. They opened up early for Glenridge Elementary School.

First, at the beginning of the day they went through their normal schedule, so they went to specials first. Once that was done the bus was ready to take them to the Esquire for the amazing movie Hidden Figures.The movie was about three african american women in the 1950’s. They worked for NASA and helped get the first american man in space. These women went through many hardships because of their skin color.

This was a very inspiring movie for the fifth graders at Glenridge. Here are some quotes from the participants:Eliot said “ It was the best and most inspiring movie ever.” Madeline said “It was a really good way to learn about that time in history.”

The Glenridge 5th graders will go on many other exciting field trips in the future.
