RECENT HIGHLIGHTS
Second grade students recently made a trek over to the Woodland Park Zoo. The day started with a fun lecture by zoologists discussing the differences between the layers of the Rainforest and a Temperate Forest. Classes then split up to have a private tour of the zoo. The weather was great, the animals were out and it was a memorable experience for all
