At River Trail School, Mrs. Devereaux's 4th grade class worked with partners to put together endangered animals puzzles. They had a great conversation about what it means to be endangered versus extinct.

Happy last day of school Vikings! We hope you have a safe & enjoyable summer!

Step right up! πŸŽͺ🎟️

River Trail School 5th graders recently put their creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills to the test during a Cardboard Challenge where they designed and built their very own carnival games! From fun challenges to imaginative designs, these students turned simple cardboard into an activity full of fun and learning.

Great job to these 5th graders for thinking outside the box β€” literally!
