Mr. Short & Ms. Morgan's Crews are wrapping up their wilderness. They had a great time bonding at peaceful Mingus Mountain.

Report from Moqui: Mr. Jacob, Ms. Romberger & Ms. Love's Crew had a challenge by choice hike on the Arizona Trail. They found some wildlife along the way and one group made it to the top.

This wilderness has been one for the books. A lot of happy campers and giggles around the campfire! ⛺🫶

Wilderness Report from Moqui!

All three crews got together and spent the afternoon at Blue Ridge reservoir: finding and collecting rocks and fossils, participating in solos, doing initiatives, and enjoying the beautiful views. Now we’re going back to camp to cook dinner and play some games.

The 8th graders embarking on their semester expedition: Stability and Change! They began the day at Watson Lake to conduct a gallery walk to build background knowledge of their expedition and then started to build "sustainable" structures with legos.

We are excited to see where their learning leads them this semester!
