Community Involvement

The Optional Program extends into the community on a regular basis. Guest speakers enrich the classroom experience. Frequent field trips give children exposure to their local environment and teach them that our community is rich in resources. Children are expected to maintain excellent behavior while on these trips. For field trips, parents provide transportation, classes walk, or district buses are used.

All members of the Optional Community (students, families, and teachers) are invited to spend the day at Eklutna Lake at the end of the year. Parents come to hike and play with the kids, picnic, and do some special activities. We have activities and games available from the school (such as tug-o-war and ball games) and enjoy the wonderful scenery.
