Classroom Highlights✨
The 4th–6th graders traveled to the MSU Science Fair on Tuesday! They had a great time exploring exhibits, asking questions, and learning some really cool things. They even got to watch an experiment presented by Drake-Anamoose alumni Mason Lemer! It was a fun day of hands-on learning and curiosity in action. 🔬🧪
