Outdoor Education Club - Our students recently challenged themselves on the Kletterwald ropes course. A student had to climb, use the zip line, rappel, and ride a bicycle on the ropes. It took a great deal of courage and our students were up to the task! pictures
5th Graders Learn about Native Americans - Our fifth graders recently completed a unit on Native Americans. The students then shared what they learned with the younger students in school.
