Third graders from Rockford Elementary thoroughly enjoyed their field trip to Surry Community College on Wednesday. The instructors did an amazing job of talking to the kids about 2-year programs that are available through the college. They got to learn about all the different career opportunities SCC has to offer and had a delicious lunch at the Knights Grill.
