The MTA freshman class went on the annual end-of-the-year freshman rafting trip, along with Rabbi Green, Mr. Gillers and the grade rebbeim. The purpose of this trip, aside from celebrating the end of their first year at MTA, was to create unity within the grade and help everyone learn to depend on one another—as much teamwork was needed when the students and faculty members had to raft through harsh rapids. After the rafting, the participants joined together for a special barbecue dinner and there was also time to relax and enjoy intense volleyball matches and football games. The freshmen were exhilarated by the trip.
