Gifts of the Gorge
As experts of our natural resources in this beautiful place we call home, we're learning even more about the amazing Columbia River Gorge! Along with buddies, each group was given one gift (the river, the forest, plants, soil, tourism and fish) and worked together to collect new facts, uses and ways to preserve what we have.

Oxbow Field Study
We're going on a field trip!
On Wednesday, April 27th we'll be heading out to Oxbow Park for a day of geological discovery. We'll be investigating evidence of flood, volcanic debris, erosion and landforms, as part of the geologic story. This field trip was custom made by teachers and Oxbow naturalists and geologists, to compliment our study this year.
Forms went home Monday. Please be sure to turn them in no later than Tuesday, April 26th.
