Yesterday our First and Second graders took a fun field trip to the Baker Arts Center in Liberal! The students had a great time exploring, especially all the beautiful butterflies, and enjoyed the different activities throughout the center. It was a day full of curiosity, creativity, and lots of smiles! We’re so glad they had this opportunity to learn outside the classroom!
State Track Send-Off tomorrow!
Congratulations on a great season Jolie!
