It was a beautiful day for a trip to the farm with the Kindergarten and Preschool classes. Thank you Jake, CharLee, and Bristol Bachman, Nevada D., Hayden J. and Dr. Pittman for providing a wonderful fieldtrip for the students.
With the Spring Concert completed, as a team, the band members have turned their attention to a new project that is not necessarily music related. 'Teen Economic Development' (TED Newell). Today the team walked downtown, drew a street map and listed businesses. Final stop, the Hitching Post grocery store for treats! Stay tuned as we explore development throughout town and offer options as seen through the eyes of our teens.
