Outdoor School<\/p>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

A Small District Dives In<\/h3>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Approximately 135 fifth-graders participated in the inaugural two-night\/three-day outdoor school at Buck Creek Campground, made possible in part due to new lottery funding. \u201cWe had the opportunity to get the kids away from the iPads and the laptops and get their hands on the soil and water instead \u2014 something a lot of our kids don\u2019t have the opportunity to do,\u201d said Principal Don Davis.<\/p>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
