We have just finished our fourth week of summer school and would like to share some wonderful happenings from this week. Our first graders have teamed up with the Girl Scouts to care for the community flower beds in Summit Park. The activities include weeding, planting, watering, and pruning. Additionally, students in grades three through five enjoyed field trips to Lake Katherine.

• Little Red School House (K-2)
• SplashPad in Bedford Park (K-3)
• Big Wolf Ranch visit at Walsh School
• July 18th, Thursday: Last Day of School for Staff & Students

We hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Fourth of July.

The students learned about the food chain and food web. They observed skulls and teeth of different animals.

The students worked with a naturalist to learn about owl adaptations. They dissected owl pellets to study their diet.

The students used dipping nets, to look below the surface of water. They looked under a microscope at macro & micro invertebrates.
