🌿🚍 National Arts in Education Week – Day 4!
On Thursday, September 18, 2025, we celebrate the art of nature with the 5th grade through an exciting field trip to the Upper Municipal Watershed! Students stepped outside the classroom to explore the beauty, inspiration, and creativity that the natural world provides. From sights and sounds to textures and patterns, nature becomes our canvas for learning and discovery!
