Week 9: End of the Quarter and Field Trip Fun!

What a wonderful day we had for our field trip!  The students learned more about local history and environmental clean up through a fun scavenger hunt and history lesson.  We had TONS of fun bowling, too.  A special thanks our parent chaperones and to the crew who were so patient when their lanes were malfunctioning.  They were good sports!  Thanks to class photographer, Alyssa, for many of the fun shots at the bowling alley.

End of the Quarter/Conferences
