The JFES 5th grade class were the first Stoddard students to officially visit the Little Big Forest last Wednesday……if you could bottle the energy from the excitement of the teachers and students………you could fire a rocket to the moon and back.
Attached a couple of pictures of their visit.
A more thorough update with the need to schedule PR and fundraising events will be forthcoming. Meanwhile sharpen your pencils for fundraising!!
