Throughout the school year we provide field trips and set up visits from local and area businesses and community helpers. Book readers visit frequently, donating their time and a book for each child!
Some of our field trips include: The Lettie Jensen Library, International Bank of Amherst, a visit to a local dairy farm, and Earth Day clean-up around our village.
