While the 6th and 8th graders were at the creek, Mrs. Darden took the 7th graders out to Friend, Oregon. They visited the old Friend Schoolhouse and explored the old Kingsley Catholic Cemetery between Friend and Dufur.
On Wednesdays, Dufur School mid-level students get exciting enrichment opportunities. Today, the 6th and 8th graders went to Fifteenmile Creek on Dufur School's property and did a stream study. The kids had a great time going out into nature while also doing math and science at the same time.
With the addition of Mid-Level students to the bus routes, this is a reminder to Elementary parents that students in grades K-5 will be released from school each day at 1:50 PM for bus boarding and parent pickup.
Don't forget that school will not be in session tomorrow for students or staff! Have a great weekend.
