On January 31st, Patty's advisory took a trip to the Great Lakes Aquarium where they had a limnology class and then toured the exhibits.
Another Experience Day option for students that was in-person was an archery class. The kids learned valuable skills and had a lot of fun doing it!
One of the in-person experience day options at EOC was self-defense class. There was so much to learn and the kids had a blast!
