A successful field trip was had by the 3rd and 4th grade classes. They traveled to Mitchell where they visited Mitchell Indigenous Archaeological Site and Museum, George McGovern Center, and Dakota Discovery Museum. We learned a lot of new facts about the history of our area and the peoples who inhabited it. All the museums graciously gave free tours to our group.

2nd grade had their camp out today. They were able to set up camp, listen to stories around the campfire, and have s’mores!

Pictures from the 5th and 6th grade field trip yesterday. We apologize the pictures didn't post with the original post! The 5th and 6th graders had a beautiful day for their field trip to Sioux Falls! They learned all about news and broadcasting at Keloland. Then, they explored Falls Park and enjoyed lunch outside. They ended their day with a scavenger hunt at the Old Courthouse Museum!

🎓Preschool Graduates 🎓 These preschoolers are ready to take on Kindergarten! Congratulations ❤️🏴‍☠️💛
