Ms. Schloss and some of her U.S. History class got to take a trip to Springfield on Tuesday. Students got to visit Oak Ridge Cemetery to pay tribute to fallen soldiers at the War Memorials, visit the tomb of President Abraham Lincoln and take a tour of the Old State Capitol. It was a beautiful day and a fantastic trip! Thank you to our fabulous kitchen staff to put together lunches for us and the family's that brought their kids to school in the early morning. This opportunity was made possible thanks to a grant Ms. Schloss received from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources to visit historic state sites.
