HELEN HALLER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Patrick Caron’s fourth-grade class went on a field trip on Sept. 27 to the Railroad Bridge Park to attend the Dungeness River Festival. The class joined other classes and community members from around the area. The purpose of the field trip was to build an “Inspiring understanding, enjoyment, and stewardship of the Olympic Peninsula’s unique natural and cultural resources.”

Corbyn Lovell said his favorite part was when he got a free whistle compass. Dominic Critchlow enjoyed seeing and petting the horses; he says they are “majestic beasts.” Lilyanna Anderson said she enjoyed seeing old friends from different schools. She also enjoyed the animal displays.
