Niagara Caves

On May 12th we will be going to the Niagara Caves in Harmony, MN Students will need a sack lunch for this field trip.  We will be gone from 8:30-2:30. It is a constant 48 degrees in the caves so students need to dress in layers for the day.

POET field trip

Our first field trip is May 10th, we are going to POET in Glenville, MN.  We will learn about ethanol production and the process that corn goes through to make ethanol. We will be there in the morning. No lunch is needed. Long pants and closed toed shoes are a must.
