Our 6th graders had an amazing time on their annual field trip!
We spent the morning at Kankakee Community College, diving into hands-on STEM activities and exploring what college learning looks like. 🧪
In the afternoon, we headed to Ice Valley Centre Ice Arena to put the science of hockey to the test on the ice. ⛸️
There were smiles, a few slips, and lots of great memories made.
A big thank you to Kankakee Community College for hosting our students and providing such a fun and engaging experience!
