Dufur's unique hybrid schedule makes for excellent opportunities to take small groups off campus for enriching activities that make memories and build relationships among students and staff. Today, Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Hertel took 6th graders sledding out of Dufur, Mrs. Anderson took 8th graders on a walk around downtown The Dalles to view and study historical murals, and Mrs. Darden took 7th graders on a hike to the Mosier tunnels. It was a beautiful day to enjoy the sunshine!
