Our 4th and 5th graders had an amazing time on their class trip to Arbor Day Farm in Nebraska! Bright and early on April 25, they hit the road, ready for a day filled with exploration, discovery, and plenty of fresh air.
From hiking the trails to learning about trees and conservation, every moment was packed with fun and learning. It was a day of hands-on adventures, laughter with friends, and memories that will last a lifetime!
Big thanks to Mrs. Gray, Miss Nelson, Mel G, and all of the parents who came to help chaperone! Thank you to everyone who helped make this unforgettable trip possible — what a wonderful way to celebrate the great outdoors!
Miss Leloux's third graders learned about fire safety and had the Fire Safety House and a local fire fighter come visit on April 28th. During the visit, they practiced safely exiting a bedroom window in the event of a fire and having an evacuation plan with their family. If your family is in need of smoke alarms, please call 211. Thanks for visiting our school and teaching us about fire safety!
