A little rain can’t stop learning! We joined Ruben Trejo Dual Language Academy second grader Cedar as she and 1,846 other elementary students explored Manito Park for a S.T.E.A.M. field trip this week.
Visiting different landmarks at the historic 90-acre public park, students learned about testing water and soil quality to make sure plants and animals have a healthy place to live, what materials and designs needed to build a fountain or greenhouse, how natural and human-made elements are balanced in parks and gardens, and more.
Seven schools in the Lewis and Clark High School feeder pattern and Camp Adams students attended over two days, with learning stations supported by LC National Honors Society students. The entire LC feeder pattern community was also invited to a family night at Manito on Tuesday evening so all ages could participate in science, technology, engineering, art, and math learning too!
