This Tuesday our second group of sixth graders will head to Outdoor School. This is an exciting time of year for our students and we are so excited to see them explore their science curriculum in a fun and engaging way. Families have received a lot of information from their student(s) science teacher, and we wanted to ensure that all of that information was in one easy to read place as you make last minute preparations to head to camp.
