  The sixth and seventh graders enjoyed a memorable time away. The seventh graders attended The Keystone Science School in Keystone, CO and the sixth graders attended the Golden Bell Retreat Center in Divide, CO. A great time was had by all!
- Mr. Mayfield's sixth grade class spent the last few days of school dissecting frogs. Dissecting an animal allows the students to see, touch, and explore the various organs in the body. Seeing these or
 gans and understanding how they work allow students to understand how these systems work within many other animals, including themselves.
