Strength

The more slowly trees grow at first, the stronger they are at the core, and I think the same is true of human beings. — Henry David Thoreau

Field trip

I was very impressed with how well everything was organized from the minute our bus arrived until we all waved good-bye to each other. The staff engaged the students interactively and at an appropriate level. The program had to do with living things using their senses. Upon returning from the field trip, I asked students what they liked best and what they learned; I don't think that they left out a single detail. They were definitely able to tell their families about their wonderful learning experience outside the classroom, both inside and outside at the Leslie Science and Nature Center. - Robbi Peterson
