Welcome, boys and girls, to the wondrous land of Tennessee, where the rivers ripple with laughter and the mountains nudge the clouds in mirth. This southern belle of a state is a veritable checkerboard of rolling landscapes, vibrant cities, deep-rooted history, and music that makes your feet tap all by themselves! Now, meet your groovy guide for this adventure, the one and only Freddy the Fiddle. Freddy is no ordinary fiddle. He's practically a superstar, having played duets with the thunder in the Smoky Mountains and having composed symphonies with the whispers of the Mississippi. And let's not forget his sidekick - Hootie the Hiking Boot - always ready for a good trek and famous for telling the funniest 'soleful' tales. It's in this enchanting setting that our Tennessee tykes set off for their field trips. When they aren't out exploring Civil War battlefields or dipping their toes in the mighty Mississippi, they're peeking behind the curtains at the Grand Ole Opry or chasing butterflies through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. These Tennessee munchkins are not just your regular field-trippers either. No siree! They're mini-explorers with a knack for turning every outing into a grand adventure. Whether they're unearthing a dinosaur bone in the Gray Fossil Site or discovering hidden messages in the quilt patterns along the Appalachian Quilt Trail, they always bring back tales more riveting than the last one. So, buckle up and join the ride as Freddy the Fiddle and Hootie the Hiking Boot take you on a rollercoaster journey through the spirited state of Tennessee. It's a realm where history, geography, and imagination intertwine to create the most extraordinary field trips!

At MTR we believe that all people have inherent and equal value from simply being made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27). We recognize that educational outcomes are tied to markers of well-being such as health, income, and vocational choice/opportunities. As a result, we are dedicated to addressing the systemic inequities of education in Memphis so that class, age, ability, race, gender, religion, and other identity markers do not determine a person’s value. We are committed to creating a more equitable educational landscape in the city and honoring the dignity and worth of each and every person.
