Keaton shared an awesome story with us this morning. His family got to help rescue/catch an injured 1 year old eagle in their backyard! Isn't it huge? What a neat thing to be a part of. Thanks for sharing, Keaton! #itsagreatplacetostart #lifeissweetin5thgrade

Yesterday, 5th & 6th graders went to the Iowa Living History Farms in Des Moines for our field trip. We learned about Iowa farms from the 1700s-1900s. We also got to see the bank where they have the safe and grill work around the counter donated from the Albert City Saving Bank!
