More than two dozen Grade 5 students joined Grade 5 teacher Laura Philips, early-childhood science teacher and Director of Sustainability Sam Mason, and science teacher Will Cook along with seven other St. Patrick's faculty and staff in an experiential learning adventure in Glover-Archbold Park. Students hiked a two-mile trail and engaged in nature exploration along the way. The focus of this adventure was to enjoy and appreciate the great outdoors, as well as to examine features of biodiversity. Our greatest hope for this Hike & Explore experience, and other upcoming hiking pop-ups, is that students become environmental stewards, keeping natural settings healthy and vibrant.
