The 2nd and 3rd graders had a wonderful time on their field trip! They spent the morning at The Outdoor Campus, where they learned about animal habitats, played a habitat game, and went fishing. After a picnic lunch and time at Sertoma Park, they headed to the Stockyard Ag Experience. While there, they learned about the history of the Sioux Falls stockyard, talked about where our food comes from, and explored with hands on learning.

The 4th and 5th graders had a memorable day on their field trip to the Gavins Point National Fish Hatchery in Yankton. Students explored the hatchery, saw a variety of fish and aquatic life, and even had the chance to feed the fish before finishing their visit in the aquarium exhibits.

After the tour, the group headed to Riverside Park for lunch and some time to play and relax. They ended the day on a sweet note with a stop at Dairy Queen, making it a fun and well-rounded trip full of learning and laughter.
