Field Trips

We are always looking for ways to explore our community.

Our first field trip is usually to Fort Missoula to tour the historic buildings, check out the amazing artifacts they have on display, and make apple cider.

We often have guest speakers join our classrooms and want to welcome parents to reach out if they feel they have something to share along the lines of our curriculum or know of someone who would be interested.
