Our 5th grade students took a field trip to tour the campus of the Middle School, which will be their campus next year as 6th graders. Students walked around the outside of the building as well as checked out the cafeteria, library and the layout of the school building.
School will be out in a couple of weeks and with that comes trying to keep the kiddos active and entertained. We have three great summer enrichment camps that will do both of those things and also keep them learning -- and learning in a fun way!! Check out the flyers for more information.
