Partnership with Camptown

Starting in the 2025–26 school year, we’re partnering with Camp Town to offer annual outdoor experiences for students:

Grade 4: Natural Wonders Day Camp with fishing, team games, a guided hike, and canoeing basics
Grade 5: Eagle Creek Compass Challenge day course
Grade 6: Overnight cabin retreat with hikes, stargazing, and campfire fun
Grade 7: Overnight tent camping trip with hands-on camping skills
Grade 8: Overnight wilderness backpacking trip led by expert staff

These experiences will continue each year to help students explore nature and build lifelong skills.

Students investigate West Side Park Murders

Author Keith Roysdon visited Ms. Byard’s class to talk with middle-school students about The Westside Park Murders, a local cold case he co-wrote a book about.

After studying the case, the students impressed him with thoughtful questions and even built a “murder board” of suspects and theories—showing how deeply young people can engage with history, justice, and unresolved crimes.
