On Thursday February 10th, UA students spent the day celebrating our successful completion of semester 1. In the morning, students explored Franconia Sculpture Garden. In the afternoon, students visited Interstate Park along the St. Croix river and ate lunch, played, hiked, and build community around the fire .In spite of all the challenges this school year has thrown at us, it remains clear that shared communal experiences build trust among students and staff. This trust allows us to dig deeper into educational experiences all year long. Thank you to everyone who supported the outing, especially those that donated items or time.
