The fifth grade students ventured out of the school building on Thursday, April 16. They journeyed to the Outdoor Discovery Program at Platte River State Park. This is an outdoor recreation and science oriented day put on by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission for fifth graders throughout the state. The students were able see and touch wildlife native to Nebraska. Some even had the opportunity to kiss a real live snake! Students were able to shoot a bow and arrow and had a chance to shatter flying clay targets with a 20 gauge shotgun. Some got aboard a boat just like that used by Lewis and Clark, and others got a close-up look at various kinds of fish. We hope this was a fun and educational day for the students.
