We have some fantastic field trips coming up! On September 24th the 4th grade will go to the fairgrounds for the Back to the Days of Kosciuszko. We will see how the people lived in the 1700's. On October 1st the 4th grade will go to the Merry Lea Glacial Resort and learn about rocks and see how the glaciers changed the land. Chaperons do not need to pay to participate in the trips.
