Last week, March 25-27, 6th graders had the opportunity to participate in a three day-two night trip to Long Lake Conservation Center in Palisade! They got to walk in a bog, hold snakes, compete in a compass orienteering race, enjoy a campfire and s’mores, make their own wilderness meal, build a survival shelter, and so much more!

Thank you to all of the chaperones and all the support from the local businesses and organizations who continue to make this a yearly tradition!

Great exposure to hands-on career pathways and future possibilities in the trades! 👏

Our 8th grade science students in Mr. Forsberg’s class have been busy investigating the factors that influence friction! 🔬

Students measured how much force it took to pull wooden blocks across different surfaces and even tested whether changing the surface area (by turning the blocks) made a difference.

Hands-on learning in action as students explore real-world science concepts! 💡
