6th grade Religion Field Trip

By:Taryn Kanai and Leialoha Bugarin

     On Friday, Febuary 22, 6th grade went on a field trip to 3 churches/temples. The first one we went to was Immaculate Conception (a Catholic church). Reverend Dalton talked to us about the artifacts and why they are so special or what they are symbolized for. After he talked for a little while we got to look around the church, it was so cool looking at the different artifacts. The next stop was to Temple Emanu-al (Jewish temple). There we had a guest speaker talk about the torah scrolls, and the 10 commandments. The last temple we went to was the Byodoin at the Valley of the Temples in Kaneohe. We had fun here because we got to ring a bell, look at a big Buddha, and got to feed the koi fish. We had lots of fun on this field trip and we hope  next year's 6th graders can go on the same field trip and have as much fun as we did. Thank you very much to the very kind speakers at all of our visits for sharing their knowledge and spirituality!
