🌿 Field Trip Fun at Crawford Creek! 🌿 What a memorable day! Our 5th grade field trip to Crawford Creek was a huge success — with 68 excited 5th graders and 18 amazing senior volunteers joining the adventure! From having a lesson completed by the Ida County Conservation Office to catching a lot of fish, it was a day full of learning, laughter, and teamwork. A huge thank-you to our seniors for being such wonderful role models and helping make this experience extra special for our students. Here’s to building bridges between generations and learning beyond the classroom! 🚌🍃📚 #CLAWSUP #FieldTripFun #CrawfordCreek #5thGradeAdventures #LearningOutsideTheClassroom #GenerationsTogether

Friday, May 2nd, Ridge View High School’s FCCLA (Family, Career, Community Leaders of America) organization had the privilege of traveling to Sioux City. Forty students, ages 9-12th grade, were able to learn about various careers through conversations and tours of three metro businesses. Emily at Rooted Boutique, Penny at Security National Bank, and Don, owner of the Sioux City Bandits, did a great job of sharing their backgrounds and career paths. We learned SO much! Of course, the day couldn’t be complete without a wonderful lunch (at Olive Garden) and a quick, last stop at Crumbl Cookies. We packed in a lot of learning and had a great time! #CLAWSUP #FCCLAROCKS
