The JROTC spent a week in Calumet at camp, and learned many different skills in leadership. They did team building, one rope bridge, land navigation, reaction training (how to go through different obstacles to save an injured person), drill pad, ropes course both high and low, kayaking, mountain biking, robotics, drones, repelling, and many other activities. They ended the week with a big kickball tournament between all 7 schools. Looks like hard work, but a lot of fun!

The sixth grade took a field trip and learned more about sturgeon.
Congratulations to Mr. Carlson's RTI group, who knew how to "RISE" to the occasion! These students created posters, did a scavenger hunt, and created funny videos about how to use RISE expectations. They earned pizza for their efforts. Great work, students!
The 4th grade went to Norrie Park for a field trip with Mr. Tom from the Michigan Tech Center for Science and Environmental Outreach. Students were given the opportunity to get in the Montreal River with D nets and scoop up creatures from the habitat, such as crayfish, toenail clams, minnows, and caddisfly larvae. A great lesson and a great day to be outside!
Mrs. Headley's First Grade class got the opportunity to take a field trip to Wildwood Wildlife Park Zoo & Safari. The PTO helped fund the entire trip. Our kids were beyond excited and lucky to see all the different animals!
Check out the opportunity from our very own Ironwood Carnegie Library! Encourage your kids to read this summer!
