Today, our 1st graders enjoyed a fun-filled field trip to the Pacific Library! 📚💜

Students toured the library and discovered that you can check out much more than just books—including cake pans and even fishing poles! 🎂🎣 They listened to several wonderful stories read by the librarian and had a great time exploring both the indoor play area and the outdoor playground.

A big thank you to the Pacific Library staff for making our visit such a fun and memorable learning experience!

Today, our 2nd grade students enjoyed a fun and healthy food demonstration! Students learned about a variety of fruits and vegetables, including how each one helps keep their bodies strong and healthy.

To top off the lesson, students got creative by using bananas and pretzels to make adorable butterfly snacks. It was a hands-on way to learn about healthy eating while having lots of fun!

Students learned about a variety of reptiles and had the opportunity to see them up close, touch them, and even hold some of them. This hands-on experience helped bring science to life as students discovered interesting facts about these amazing animals and their habitats.

A big thank you to Serengeti Steve for providing such an engaging and memorable learning experience for our Zitzman Chiefs!
