2nd Grade students enjoyed their field trip to Pierre to visit the Discovery Center, McDonald's, and the park. They became astronauts, scientists, explorers, veterinarians, cooks, bakers, and all the learning centers that were offered, were well filled with laughter, relationship building, and imaginations. Thank You Pierre Discover Center for enhancing our imaginations beyond the classroom, our bus driver, for getting us safely and timely to our destinations, Pierre McDonald's for the delicious lunch and ice cream, our teachers for guiding us safely through the trip and transitions, and kitchen staff for the road trip snacks. Wopila Tanka to all for planning our field trip, we had a fun day together in the beautiful sun.

Thank you to our 4th grade students for their meaningful efforts in honoring Earth Day. They demonstrated pride and responsibility by helping pick up trash and contributing to the cleanliness of our school and community. Their enthusiasm and commitment to making a positive impact were evident throughout the day. Students were also excited about adopting a garter snake as a class pet but he whisked away with other plans.

The C-EB 6th grade Natural Helpers hosted The Canli Coalition of CRST this past week for 5th and 6th grade students, bringing an interactive and engaging learning experience to their school through the “Escape the Vape” vaping prevention escape room.
Students worked together in teams to solve puzzles and complete challenges, all while learning about the harmful physical effects of vaping. Along the way, they explored real-life scenarios, built awareness, and discussed practical ways and reasons to say no to vaping. Afterwards students were called to action to create anti-vaping posters based on what they learned!
The activity created a fun, hands-on environment that encouraged teamwork, critical thinking, and open conversation. It was a great opportunity for students to learn important health information in a way that felt exciting and meaningful, while also empowering them to make positive choices for their well-being. This marks the second year in a row that the Natural Helpers program has partnered with the Canli Coalition to bring prevention education to their peers. We are grateful for our speakers and partners at the Canli Coalition for their continued dedication and impactful work in our communities.
