Jersey CUSD 100

Grafton Elementary’s 2nd graders recently had an amazing day at The Nature Institute! They explored animal classification and the water cycle, hiked through nature, and wrapped up the adventure with roasted hot dogs, s'mores, and playground fun. It was a day full of learning, laughter, exploration, and unforgettable memories!
