Each day there is a field trip with the kids.

"I wanted to come because it sounded fun. We've been doing knot tying and we just did one where we had to go in groups of stars. It wasn't actually knot-tying but we had to untangle our arms. And then we did like we had to put the sheet to another color on the other side," said Diamond Secession, a 5th grader.

Each day there is a field trip with the kids visiting Rhodes State College, the University of Northwestern Ohio, St. Rita's Graduate Medical Education Center, Lima Ford Plant Engineering Education Manufacturing Center, and the City of Lima's wastewater treatment plant. They will also get visits from the Lima Fire Department and Terracon later this week.
