Locust first grade travelled to the Burpee Museum in Rockford on Thursday, Nov. 20th to culminate their unit on Native Americans. Students were able to sit in a wigwam, make a clay pinch pot and learn so many more interesting facts! It was a busy but great day!

Such a fun night at Locust Fall Fest! A big big thank you to all the families, students and staff who donate their time and efforts to make this happen! Families were able to have fun as they walked through a spooky bus, bravely made their way though the haunted hallway and of course, all of our wonderful families who set up the best trunks for trunk or treating! Here are just a few pics from the night.
