The Whiting 6th and 7th grade classes took an exciting and educational field trip on Wednesday, September 22. They visited the Scenic Overlook to take a hike, where they enjoyed the beauty of the Loess Hills and identified many native plants. Another stop included the Mann Country School, where students got a chance to experience a one-room schoolhouse, participate in a spelling bee, and write with a pen dipped in ink like old times. Students enjoyed a picnic at Preparation Canyon State Park before returning to school. Thank you to our hike leader Heather and our bus driver Rick. Special thanks to Judy Ehlers for her planning and expertise that made our trip amazing!
