Day 5: Oil City Students Reflect on Colorado, Head Back Home
Students from Louisiana's Oil City Elementary School spent a week at Cal-Wood Education Center in the Rocky Mountains. The students from Oil City, a Project Learning Tree (PLT) GreenSchool, raised money to fund their trip. Our guest blogger Elizabeth is a 7th grader at the school and her teacher, Cindy Kilpatrick, is a 2011 PLT National Outstanding Educator.
Today was our last day at Cal-Wood Education Center in the Rocky Mountains. I was so sad to see it end. I didn’t want to leave our guides Patrick, Kristy, Mariah, and Angie.
Everybody in the class had a turn to tell what they enjoyed the most about their time in Colorado. It was a really emotional time for us all. We had grown close to the guides, and didn’t want to leave them.
As I was telling my story about Cal-Wood, it dawned on me that this might be the last time I would ever see my class together, smiling and laughing, in the mountains. 
Many of us cried. We were going to miss Colorado and the people we’d met while we were up north.
Back to Louisiana tomorow!
