This year all four elementary schools were bused out to the beautiful Tahoe Paradise Park in Meyers. Surrounded by mountains and trees with the river flowing by students learned all about the importance of water in South Lake Tahoe.

Our 6th graders, were bused up to the Caldor Fire burn area at Echo Summit- a first for many of them. Taking part in the restoration of our community was truly an immeasurable experience for students and teachers.

Meanwhile 7th graders enjoyed a new field trip experience on the M.S. Dixie thanks to Aramark Destinations.

Our CTE team of two also added some new front loading lessons for K-5th grades. Students enjoyed spending time in their school gardens- planting, pruning, weeding, harvesting and more while learning all about the environment of South Lake Tahoe.

Thank you to all of our STEEC partners who continue to support and provide amazing educational field trips for K-12th grades.

At the Elementary level we have also been providing all students with Dental lessons.

Thank you El Dorado County Public Health for providing our students TK-5th grades with dental kits including sand timers this year. Remember brush your teeth for TWO minutes !

We have also been busy working with our partner groups to provide Allied Health hands on lessons at the Middle School.

7th graders (First Aid); learned how to use tourniquets, how to assist when someone is choking, and completed 'Stop the Bleed' certification.

8th graders (CPR); learned infant and adult CPR with an introduction to using defibrillators.

Thank you City of South Lake Tahoe Fire and Ambulance, Barton and our very own Sports Medicine High School team and students.
