Field Experiences
Olympic Training Center
Students went to the Olympic Training Center to better understand how physical and mental disabilities can't hold you back form achieving your dreams! We toured the Olympic center and learned about the perseverance and work ethic needed to be an Olympic athlete. Our tour guide, Connor, is a paralympic swimmer with dwarfism who shared his experiences with us. He was an inspiration to us all!
Rockies Game- Math Day
Discovery went to Coors Field for Math Day with the Rockies! It was an awesome day and we were able to relax and watch a baseball game. Our science teacher, Mr. Wenberg, was unable to attend, but we found his doppleganger in the stands! Check out our video and pictures below!
