Fifth graders were excited to once again participate in Outdoor School, a time honored tradition that brings the Forman and Stern 5th grade classes together offsite to learn and work together in a series of collaborative exercises. Activities included fishing with traditional bamboo poles (catch and release), soil studies, low ropes challenges, water studies, and nature walks. Outdoor searches, group games, a bonfire, and the simple joy of camaraderie all added to the magic of being together.
