Thank you one and all for your presence and voluntarism over the last two days. Between the feast and the Lewis and Clark simulation today, the students had a memorable lead up to the winter holiday. The photos will tell some of the story, but make sure to ask your child if the students’ tarp held up against the onslaught of rain (straight from my bucket) and if they enjoyed foot-stomping to the fiddle music of our very own Cruzatte (thanks, Willie P.). Everyone made it on the five-mile hike, up mountains, across streams, through sticky boot-sucking mud, all the way from St Louis to the Pacific and back again.
No homework.
Yeah biscuits.

Sacagaweas had to trade blue “beads” for passage.
This intrepid woodsman started the fire with a flint/steel setup.
The hunters returned with our vittles. Don’t worry, we didn’t eat them.
Tarpology 101.
