Central Kindergarten students enjoyed an in-school field trip today from the Minnesota arboretum.
The kindergarten teachers received a grant from Minnesota Valley Electric so that their students could have a hands-on experience to learn more about the desert.
Each student was able to bring home a desert plant to watch grow.
Thank you Minnesota Valley Electric!
