OABCIG first graders went on their annual Spring field trip to Moorehead Park. The first graders did three centers. The first center was with Naturalist Danielle and she took the students on a hike to learn all about birds in their natural environment. They even got to use binoculars. Then the next center was a nature journal where the students used magnifying glasses to observe and investigate the area around them. Then the students recorded their observations in their journal. The last center was entitled "Bird Beak Buffet" a hands-on-activity where the students used various tools that acted as a bird's beak to see which worked best to get a certain bird's food in the various environments. The first graders learned so much and we are so lucky to have such a great resource in our district.

🎣 Congratulations to Darrell Wolf on winning our Albino Trout Fishing Contest!

We’ve loved seeing so many anglers out enjoying the stocked rainbow trout this season. The trout are still in the lake for now—so there’s still time to get out and try your luck before water temperatures start to rise!
