The JRH HAL class took a field trip to the Kiewit Luminarium on the morning of February 19th. Nine 7th and eight 8th graders made the trip, along with HAL teacher Mr. Hansen and District Technology Director Paul Wilson. The goal of the trip was to engage the students deeper into the science and engineering topics presented at the museum, while also serving as a reward for the work they put in academically. In the coming weeks, the students will prepare presentations based on their favorite exhibit and deliver them to their HAL classmates.

The field trip was a great success and the students really enjoyed their time at the museum!
