Food Drive Information:
☀️The Science Club journeyed to Arkansas over Spring Break. We had 16 students, 4 sponsors, and 3 days of wonderful adventures.
The Elk Education Center in Ponca, AR, was a big hit.
This tallest bluff between the Appalachians and the Rocky Mountains was another part of our trip. The upper Buffalo River valley is quite scenic and offers outstanding hiking opportunities.
Thank you to Mr. Wesley Holmes for organizing and sponsoring this trip. We appreciate the time and efforts of you, the bus driver, and all of the trip sponsors to make this kind of experience happen for your Science Club students.
