Day School and APEX Recovery School enjoyed a day exploring Nerstrand State Park. The weather was perfect for community building among the 90 staff and students. Activities included geocaching (many found all five hidden boxes), learning about and holding snakes, outdoor games, and time on the trails. The trip was only possible through a Minnesota Department of Natural Resources transportation grant. Thank you to the park naturalist, Andy, for welcoming us.

Many donated for the first time! In total, 14 units were collected. 1 donation can save up to 3 lives - that is up to 42 people our school was able to help!
