A few pics from our recent 7th and 8th-grade trip to Wyoming`s Teton Science School @tetonnationalpark . Guided by the amazing staff @tetonscience , students and chaperones use cross-country skis, snowshoes, vans, and even a horse-drawn carriage to observe wildlife such as moose, elk, and bald eagles. As with outdoor education program across all grades, our annual field trip to the Teton Science Schools truly embodies the Art of Living and Learning. As one student noted: “During the trip I learned that you should always enter an activity with an open mind.”
