1st Grade Crews on Spring Voyage this Week!

News from Our Crews:

Ms. Madi and Ms. Mikaela- 1st Grade:
First grade embarked on a memorable overnight voyage to Camp Elim, where learning and exploration came to life beyond the classroom. As we stepped out of our comfort zones, we discovered the wonders of nature; learning about scat, trees, and understanding our place in the web of life. Our days were filled with adventure as we hiked trails, climbed rocks, navigated the low ropes course, and tackled team challenges that strengthened our problem-solving skills and our bond as crew. From shared mealtimes to campfire stories, every moment helped us grow, connect, and appreciate the beauty of learning through experience.


4th Grade, D2/3, D4/5:
Fourth grade and Discovery 2/3 and 4/5 went on field work to the Manitou Springs Cliff Dwellings and Garden of the Gods to learn about Colorado's past.


Ms. Ashley- Adventure Ed:
