First Graders had an "in school" STEAM field trip today with High Touch High Tech. Students learned about photosynthesis and germination while getting a hands-on look at shoots, roots and the inside of plants! We did experiments and planted our own wildflowers to take home! 🌱🪴











Second Graders in Team Holtrup came to visit last week to introduce to us their "Kindness Challenge." There are yellow signs around the school and each one has something to complete. Team Beseth was so excited to accept their challenge and have already started! #bekind #kindness
