Kindergartners made their annual trip to Gilby's Apple Orchard. The theme this year was Mickey Mouse. They had a Spruce forest, corn maze, apple tasting and a hayride. Students got to pick an apple and a pumpkin or gourd.
Thank you to Cuyuna Lakes Education Foundation for funding this great learning opportunity!



For Indigenous Peoples Day (10/14), Mr. & Mrs. Syrstad did a cross-curricular lesson. Students learned about the history of Indigenous people and what the sport of lacrosse means to their culture. Then, students played lacrosse in JH PE.
