Oceanography Club Celebrated 20 Years

Celebrating 20 Years of OClub

When Tom Fredenberg (then a fourth-grade teacher) introduced the Oceanography Club to the Lower School in the early 2000s, no one could have predicted that the culminating four-day trip to the Outer Banks would become such a significant part of the fourth-grade experience. For two decades, the “O Club” trip has become its own rite of passage as countless fourth graders and their families have trekked across the state to learn, explore, and build community. With more than half the grade attending, this trip signifies the last hurrah before these “seniors” of the Lower School move down the road to Bissell Campus.
