Once upon a time, in the tiny but terrific state of Rhode Island, there lived a bunch of wild, wacky, and wonderfully zany kids. From Block Island to Pawtucket, they were known for their love of soaking up knowledge like sponge-cakes and their insatiable love for field trips! The ringleader of these adventure-loving children was a cool character named Rhody the Raccoon. Undeniably funny with his twinkling eyes, Rhody wore a funky pair of purple glasses. He was as small as the state they lived in, but he had a heart as big as the ocean that surrounded it. Rhody loved field trips more than he loved triple-decker peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. And boy, did he love his sandwiches. Every time the teacher announced a trip, his tail would twitch faster than a hummingbird's wings. He'd lead the charge, rallying his crew of knowledge-thirsty kids to hop on the bus, which somehow managed to always look like a giant hot dog on wheels. These Rhode Island kids were known far and wide for their field trips. From the sandy shores of Narragansett where they built sandcastles as part of their geometry lessons, to the historic halls of the Breakers Mansion in Newport, where they learned about the Gilded Age while trying not to touch the expensive furniture! They even braved the spooky, cobweb-filled corners of the Providence Athenaeum, all in the name of education. Their laughter echoed through the valleys of the Blackstone River and their questions filled the classrooms. They were the Rhode Island kids, led by the indefatigable Rhody, and their thirst for knowledge was as deep as the ocean, as wide as the skies, and as endless as a hot dog shaped bus ride.
