🦁🐒 What a WILD day at the Lincoln Children's Zoo! 🐧🦒

Our Bennet Summer Enrichment students had an unforgettable adventure exploring the amazing animals and interactive exhibits at the Lincoln Children's Zoo! From watching playful animals up close to learning about habitats, conservation, and wildlife, our students were full of curiosity, excitement, and smiles all morning long.

The hands-on experiences gave students the opportunity to connect their learning with the natural world while creating wonderful summer memories alongside their friends and teachers.

A very special THANK YOU goes to our incredible Panther supporter, Miss Jenney Miller, for so generously hosting our students and helping make this experience possible. Your kindness and support of our school community are truly appreciated, and you helped create a day our students will remember for years to come!

We are also grateful to our staff and volunteers for making the trip safe, organized, and fun for everyone.

What a great day to be a Panther! ❤️💙

Another Middle School Summer Programming class has come and gone! Last week Mrs. Hanger's Coding with Microbits class all took home their own microbit to program and code for games. They were also able to explore the Amazon Future Engineer site.
