Lower School outdoor education trips are back! Our students had incredible adventures — from learning about the local food system to hiking and exploring the Lizard Head Wilderness to paddling 45 miles down the Green River. They unplugged, connected with nature, and created memories that will last a lifetime!!

This year lower school students will be participating in the “Trout in the Classroom” program! They’ll raise trout from eggs and release them in the river this spring. To prepare the tank for the eggs students explored our very own, San Miguel river to learn what makes it a perfect habitat for trout. They’ll use these observations to recreate the ecosystem in our classroom tank. What a great way to connect with our watershed and explore the balance of ecosystems! 🌊🐟

Special thanks to Madi from Mountain Gate Tea for a beautiful tea ceremony today, immersing our lower school students in the wonders of ancient China. The Pu-erh tea, carefully sourced from 1000-year-old trees, was a wonderful way to connect students to the same brew enjoyed by the Chinese for centuries.

Students in 5/6 science have spent a majority of class time over the last few weeks designing a year-long experiment and collecting data to help them answer the question: “What is the ecological impact that we have when we play on the playground”? To answer this question, students have been collecting data within the new playground extension, the old playground space on the hill, and the area outside the fence. Stay tuned later in the year as students reveal their findings!
